LIVE CWG 2022 | India vs Australia - Gold Medal Match
Having overcome South Africa's challenge in the semi final, India will now take on Australia in the Gold Medal match of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
And that is it. The carnage has finally ended and the Indians must be relieved. The Aussies have won the CWG gold for the seventh time now. A poor display of hockey by the Indians, as they failed to do justice to their immense talent. They need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what went wrong for them. Nonetheless, it is silver for TEAM INDIA!
