2023 Hockey World Cup | Graham Reid wants players to step up and support captain Harmanpreet Singh

India TV News  

Heading into the Men's Hockey World Cup, Harmanpreet Singh, for India, will be one of the most important players, but coach Graham Reid wants other players like Amit Rohidas, Varun Kumar and Nilan Sanjeet to step up and support the skipper. Eight-time gold medallists India grabbed an Olympic medal - a bronze in Tokyo - after 41 years and the expectations are high from the home team to return to the podium in the World Cup since 1975, when they won their maiden yellow metal in the event, and the Australian coach, under whose tutelage India won the Olympic medal in Tokyo, understands the need of modern-day hockey. But having said that after winning medals in the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games, it would be great for a hockey nation like India to win a World Cup medal," he added. Reid said the two-week-long specialised camp with two-time Olympic gold medallist drag flicker Bram Lomans and goalkeeping coach Dennis Van De Pol will greatly help the Indians.
