India Women Hockey Team News

Indian women’s hockey team captain Rani Rampal admitted that a couple of back-to-back international tours in a short span are golden opportunities in the build-up to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. The visiting team is set to play four matches against the German women’s hockey side.

It was once again too near yet far for India after Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna wasted a good start to lose out on a sure medal today in the mixed doubles event. But, they will be back for the bronze, while 3000m athlete Lalita Babar took off 7 seconds from the national record to enter the final.

After failing to win a medal in the first two days, India would hope for a change of fortunes today with former Olympic medallists Abhinav Bindra and Gagan Narang in action. Apart from shooting, Indian action will be in swimming, individual archery and both men’s and women’s hockey team.
