The Indian women's hockey team faced a challenging campaign in the FIH Pro League, ending with zero outright wins and being relegated to the FIH Nations League. Despite their efforts, defensive issues, especially in the final quarters of games, led to their downfall. The team's struggle with penalty corner defense and lack of composure in crucial moments contributed to their relegation. The impact of this relegation means they will miss out on the upcoming Pro League season, affecting their preparations for the World Cup. The team's focus now shifts to the Asia Cup, where improvements are crucial for their chances. Harendra Singh and his coaching staff have work to do in converting intensity into efficiency in both defense and attack.
