Indian team slowly finding rhythm again
Hindustan Times Delhi
|February 27, 2026
One thing was absolutely clear in Hobart: the Hardik Singh-led India squad did not want repeat of the home leg of Pro League.
Earlier this month in Rourkela, the Indian hockey team suffered four successive losses, two each against Argentina and table toppers Belgium, to begin their campaign on an extremely poor note. What made it worse was an 0-8 humiliation against Argentina — the joint worst defeat ever for India.
The Hobart leg of the elite nine-team event didn't take off well either as India went down 0-2 to Spain, marking their fifth loss on the trot. But performances gradually improved. India secured three successive draws against hosts Australia (2-2 and 1-1) and Spain (1-1). While they lost the first two penalty shootouts, they finally earned a shootout bonus in their final game against Australia.
