So close. So close! But what a 4th place finish this is. Right up there with the ones like Milkha Singh, PT Usha and Dipa Karmakar that we will talk about for years to come. Chin up, Rani Rampal and Co. Terrific. #Hockey #Tokyo2020

Next time some patriarch tries to tell them what to do, remember that they have hockey sticks! Something has changed!

This fourth place, the first ever semifinal in history, needs to be celebrated the way we celebrated Dipa Karmakar at Rio. This is a win on so many levels. #Hockey

This was one of the best efforts I have seen. May not have won a medal but honestly they were heroic. If you are rewarding medal winners please reward this team. They every bit deserve it. @TheHockeyIndia #TokyoOlympics
