What a tournament for India!
A completely dominating show from India in FIH Nations Cup. They had vital contributions from almost each and every player and looked like a well oiled unit.
If their defensive unit looked a bit lackluster compared to the attackers in the league stages, they more than made up for it in the final. While their Penalty Corner conversion remained bleak throughout, Gurjit Kaur did manage to make one count in the final.
Overall a lot of positives for India in the tournament, and a lot to work on too for Janneke Schopman and co.
