India’s men’s hockey team have clearly shown its magic in the ongoing Paris Olympics. The Harmanpreet Singh-led side stormed into the semifinals of this mega event by thrashing Great Britain in the quarterfinals. Although the semifinal journey was not exactly easy, with Great Britain showing resilience and taking the game to a penalty shootout after a 1-1 scoreline, it was India’s day in the end. The win didn’t come easily, as India played with only 10 players for 42 minutes due to a red card gifted to defender Amit Rohidas.
When the game went to the final shootout, it was Harmanpreet Singh, Sukhjeet Singh, Lalit Kumar Upadhyay, and Rajkumar Pal who secured the victory, with Pal scoring the decisive penalty. On top of that, former India captain and veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh was crucial to the team, stopping every attempt by Great Britain. The game ended with a 4-2 scoreline, and now we are all set for the semifinals. So, who is India going to play, and when? Take a look at the details of this highly anticipated match at the Paris Olympics in 2024.
