Don’t take these wins in the friendly matches for granted. India should go all out in all the WC matches. Don’t let the other teams score against India in the last ten minutes. Remember, this is not the time to boast about past glory. According to World Hockey ranking, India is only the 12th placed team in the world now behind Belgium and China. Take one game at a time. Best of luck to the Indian team.
