Goood Eveninggg!

Hello and a warm welcome to The Bridge's coverage of the Hockey India League as UP Rudras take on Kalinga Lancers in Rourkela. 

These are the only two teams yet to play a match following the HIL's return after a seven-year hiatus on Saturday. 

The Lancers, led by Aran Zalewski, will have a strong home crowd backing them at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium, and the Rudras might just feel the pressure.

Stay tuned for all the updates!
