FIH Pro League 2023: After successful India’s campaign, What’s more in store for Men in Blue?

Men in Blue won four straight games to finish top in the standings, bringing their incredible hockey season to a glorious conclusion.

The FIH Pro League, in which they will compete in Great Britain against the host nation and Belgium, will be their next important adventure. Each success they add to their resume will help them make a stronger case for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

They will be focusing on playing well under these conditions in order to establish their authority for medal tally at the upcoming major event.

In the month of October 2023, Hangzhou, China, will host the Asian Championship will be another important event for them.

A few forwards, like S Karthi and Abhisek, who have thrived for the Men in Blue in these circumstances, have been added to the national teams’ starting lineups.

They had good backing from Captain Harmanpreet, who scored superbly in the game’s circumstances.

Throughout the tournament, Harmanpreet Singh scored 14 goals, 13 of which were from penalty shootouts and one from the pen.

Despite not being selected in the early phases of the game, Jugraj and Abhisek delivered incredible performances for India in the most recent FIH Pro League. They excelled when they were introduced during the most crucial moments of the match.

Despite a poor showing in the just finished Hockey World Cup, Indian hockey has steadily developed over time. Both their defence and their offence have undergone significant improvement.

They were particularly struggling on the side of the game where they were giving up goals in the last quarters, but this time they improved their record and made sure that this error would not happen again.

India should be commended for their excellent teamwork in the current season of the FIH Pro League.

The consistency with the willow is the only thing they will need to focus on moving forward; if they can keep it up, they will undoubtedly have a chance to be recognised as one of the top teams in the world.
