What a match, what a performance, and now the quarterfinals are done! The Indian field hockey team is in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics in 2024. All praise seems to fall short for this champion line-up. Despite being down to 10 players for 42 minutes and under huge pressure in the second half—yes, that’s correct, only 10 players on the field for India as Amit Rohidas received a red card for an unnatural moment of stick contact with a Great Britain player’s face—India initially had the lead. However, the Great Britain team scored just before halftime to level the score at 1-1.
