BHUBANESWAR: Patchy, inconsistent and lack of execution. These are the words used frequently by head coach Graham Reid during India’s disastrous FIH Men’s World Cup campaign, which undid the team’s historic bronze-winning feat at the Tokyo Olympics.

For a team that had come into the tournament with hopes of a first podium finish after the 1975 gold, crashing out before the quarterfinals was nothing short of a debacle.
This team was good enough to at least reach the quarterfinals, if not the semifinals. But who would have thought that the world number six home side would lose to 12th ranked New Zealand in the penalty shootout of the crossover match after being ahead by two goals on two occasions.
