The European leg of India's FIH Pro League 2024-25 campaign hasn't gotten off to the best possible starts.
Two losses to hosts The Netherlands and then a defeat to Argentina mean that India has no points to show from their three average outings thus far.
India came into this fixture against Argentina with 15-points from 11 game.
India began well and took the lead courtesy a Jugraj Singh penalty-corner, but thereafter, Argentina clawed their way back into the game.
They score via two penalty corners while India failed to achieve the desired circle penetrations to dent the South Americans.
As it happened ...
