The 2023 held Hockey World Cup in Odisha, from January 13 to 29, has left the Indian team in a bit of a compromising position after being placed in a pool of three strong European contenders. Even though the Indian hockey team is the highest ranked in Pool D, competitors England (ranked 6) give a solid match, while coach Max Caldas’ supervision has toughened Spain (ranked 8) and even the weakest Wales (ranked 16) can sometimes throw a punch. It’s a tussle for the first position to directly enter the quarterfinals.
