India Men's Hockey Team Exits World Cup After Loss to ArgentinaPreviousNext

India's men's hockey team was eliminated from the World Cup semifinals after a 5-3 loss to Argentina. Coach Craig Fulton acknowledged the team's poor start and pressure handling as key factors, taking responsibility for the performance. Players cited defensive mistakes and early goals conceded as detrimental. Despite a stronger finish with multiple goals in the final minutes, India fell short and will now compete for seventh place. The coach also mentioned rotation policies affecting player selection during the tournament.
