Harendra faces big test to revive women's hockey
Hindustan Times Pune
|July 10, 2025
The Indian women's hockey team raised hopes of a rosy future after finishing fourth in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, missing a bronze medal by a whisker.
However, it has been downhill since then with the team hitting a new low almost every season.
The failure to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics led to Dutchwoman Janneke Schopman being removed as chief coach. Hockey India appointed Harendra Singh for a second time, after almost six years.
Under him, India lost all eight away games in the 2023-24 Pro League, although it could be argued that Harendra had just taken over. India escaped relegation after finishing eighth.
The team bounced back by winning the 2024 Asian Champions Trophy in Rajgir, going undefeated in the tournament. But back in the 2024-25 Pro League, India just couldn't compete with the pace of the best in the world, ending ninth and last to be relegated.
