The bronze medal winning Indian hockey team received a lukewarm welcome on their return from France on Saturday morning. Exclusive visuals from the Indira Gandhi International Airport show hardly any pomp and fanfare to welcome back Harmanpreet Singh and co. after their victorious campaign.
India hockey team get lukewarm welcome on return from Paris
There were hardly any fans present at the airport to welcome the team, Insidesport confirmed on reaching the location. The team bus that was arranged for the hockey contingent was a very basic vehicle, unlike the hi-fi treatment that the Indian cricket team received on their return after the T20 World Cup win. There was bare minmum celebrations at the venue.
The team secured a historic bronze medal, defeating Spain 2-1, marking their second consecutive Olympic medal, an achievement last accomplished 52 years ago.
The Indian team, led by Captain Harmanpreet Singh, delivered a stellar performance, with the skipper scoring two crucial goals in the 30th and 33rd minutes. Their victory not only secured the bronze medal but also solidified India’s position as a dominant force in international hockey.
