The Indian men’s hockey team has secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics 2024, setting up a clash against Great Britain on August 4th. This follows their impressive 3-2 victory against Australia in their final group stage match, propelling them to second place in Pool B.
The Indian captain expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, highlighting their strong start and crucial saves by Sreejesh. The win, he believes, provides valuable confidence ahead of the knockout stage. Argentina’s subsequent 3-3 draw against Belgium cemented India’s position in the top eight.

The Indian men’s hockey team will be looking to carry the momentum from their group stage performance into the knockout stage and aim for another impressive victory.
