Paris Olympics: Most Resilient Performance By Any Indian Hockey Team, Says Somaya
World Champion Germany: Former India captain and selector MM Somaya on Sunday termed the Indian Men's hockey team's victory over Great Britain in the quarterfinals in the Paris Olympics as "one of the most resilient" and "tactically well played" performance in recent times.
Despite being a man down for three of the four quarters of the match, the Indian team defended stoutly and absorbed tremendous pressure to end the match 1-1 and then emerged 4-2 winners in the shootout to seal a place in the semifinals.
This is the first time that India have reached the semifinals in two successive Olympics since the 1972 Olympics in Munich.
