The 1st thing Indians did at a 'World Level'-was play hockey. There was no one better than us! We were Kings -Invincibles.

Confirmation. India will finish a calender year in 3rd place for the first time in over a decade (and more). I cannot remember when that last happened. When the history of Indian hockey will be written, 2021 will be known as 'Resurrection' :) Aus has replaced Bel as No1. 🇮🇳🥉

us on a beautiful journey that had more highs than lows comes to an end. Gregg Clarke and Mitch Pemberton also resign. With all my heart, Sir, thank you & good luck! 🙏🫡

Irrespective of what happens in the shootout, this is the greatest defensive display I have seen from an Indian (Men's) Hockey Team, ever! Every single player. The effort. The sacrifice. The commitment. Just insane! These guys are monsters. So proud of each and every one of 'em❤️

For the last time, at the 33rd Olympic Games, the Indian hockey team will take the field against a very dangerous Spain. I genuinely believe we are the better team. But being better guarantees nothing. I love this team & I hope they do it for India, for themselves & for Vinesh❤️

Forget the result. That performance by India was the greatest (in a stand alone game) for at least the last two decades! Best since the Bronze at Tokyo. You want to measure yourself against the best. I'm over the moon to say... This special group is very, very close to the top 🔥

Still unbeaten! Argentina was always going to be physical, intense and extremely close. They don't know another way of playing. I think today is a point earned, not 2 dropped. The 4th was our best quarter. Ireland tom🤞 Be better in the box & cut out those turnovers in midfield.

Belgium bossing Pool B! Aus and India in a play off for second spot tom. Genuinely thought we should have 'managed' the game better. Back to back games where the 3rd qtr has let us down. Stellar 1st half though. I thought it was the best we've played in Paris. Chin up, Aus next👊

As a kid growing up in the 90's, what defined our hockey teams was conceding late goals. What is fast becoming the feature of this hockey team is the ability to come back in games. Really, really late. Absolutely top performance. Look beyond the result. Can't wait for tom ✌️🇮🇳

So why is it so difficult to play Aus in hockey? For me, the answer is simple. They are 'Mentality Monsters'. The latest e.g. being Mat Dawson, who had the top of his ring finger amputated to ensure he can compete at Paris. It will be close today. Must play to our strengths. 🇮🇳✌️

Avinash Sable qualifies for the final. Becomes the first Indian since Lalita Babar made the final of the 3000m steeplechase event at Rio 2016 with a timing of 9:19.76, which was a national record at the time. Really good heat. He has a lot left in the tank. Good luck to him :)

Before every pre-match interview (ACT), I would tell Craig Fulton, "Big one today, Craig". His reply - "They are all big ones, Sid". I can see that mentality being transferred to the players. For the biggest one today - Just a big good luck to Craig and the boys. 'MAKE IT 9' 🇮🇳

So what happens to Amit Rohidas? Do we play 15 for the remaining 2? Questions in my box - So here we go - There will be a disciplinary hearing in a few hours. It will be presided over by Tournament Dir/Umpires Manager. Both players will be present and a decision will be taken..

A historic year for hockey ends with 2 🥉 medals that signify 2 very different things. The 1st, won at Tokyo, confirmed the fact that India is close to the top. The 2nd, at Dhaka, signifies that reaching the top was the easy part. Being there & moving further up is the tough bit!

Avinash Sable leaves you amazed 😲 Breaks the 3000m Steeplechase National Record, again! Clocks 8:09.91 in Paris, DL. We haven't seen a lot of him in competition in 2024. What we saw, was not him at his best. With just over 20 days to go for the Oly Games, he looks set to peak!✌️

Bad 3rd qtr. Clean sheet❤️Did enough in the end against Ire. Before the Oly, if you would give me 2 Wins & a Draw in our first 3 games, I would take it. Ideally you would want to win all 3. But teams like Arg will always push you till the very end. Now get ready for the 'Big 2'🔥

1st-Yui Susaki. Defending Champion & multiple times World Champion. Top seed & favourite. Then Oksana Livach. 2 stunning bouts by Vinesh where her defence, footwork, timing in attack was simply sensational. Most important, mat intelligence was top class. Good luck for the Semi✌️

He's done it. Again! Neeraj becomes the 1st ever Indian to win Gold at the World Championship. Bigger picture. 3 out of the top 6 in the men's Javelin are Indians. There has never ever been a time where Indians have dominated any Track & Field event. How the times are changing 🇮🇳

Another heartbreak 💔 Nisha Dahiya.. she was so far ahead in her bout. Leading 8-1. Walking into the Semi Finals. Reminiscent of scenes from Rio when Vinesh got injured. Possibly a chance of a repechage. But honestly, that shoulder doesn't look good at the moment :( Elbow too!

Both the Jr teams have won the Jr Asia Cup together for the first time ever. We've never had an opportunity like this, where both our Sr teams are poised to win the Asiad Gold in a single event. If that happens, it is difficult not to foresee an era of dominance in Asia coming 🇮🇳

Hugely disappointed, but context is important. In 6 games played, Ind lost 1 game and a total of 2qtrs of hockey. 3rd Qtr vs Wales & 4th Qtr vs NZ. Total goals scored 22-Conceded-7. Time to introspect and look at ourselves. But equally important is that we don't (continued..)

Incredibly happy with our win over S.Korea. What makes me even more happy is to see our Sr and Jr teams play the same system and deploying the same game methodology. This comes from the Dutch (next game) and to be the best you simply have to beat the best. A historic SF awaits 🇮🇳

Whether Amit's suspension ends with this game, the QF. Or, does he deserve a more severe punishment and does he deserve to be suspended for 1 or 2 more games? If suspended for the next or the one after, India plays 15. Cannot bring on the reserve player who is in Paris.

It is impossible to get over the performance of our 4*4 relay team. Breath-taking! That run last night, where we led the US with just over 200 to go, will have to rank as amongst the most incredible moments in our Track & Field history. Also, we ran faster than the Jamaicans 😎🇮🇳

Beat Wales convincingly and backed that up with our first ever win over Germany at a Jr World Cup. Can't see them lose or draw to Malaysia. Should go into the QF with an all win record. This is the best 'ever' Indian team at a Jr World Cup. Lookin' good for a best 'ever' finish!

Ind vs Pak for the 2nd time @ Jr Asia Cup in Oman. Ind is the best team at the Cup but our form has been inconsistent and we will have to raise our game to win while Pak has undoubtedly been the surprise of the tournament and made it to the finals despite the odds. Cracker 🇮🇳🤞❤️

A mouthwatering tactical battle is on the cards as Ind Women's Team takes on China. With serious investments made and this being their home Asiad, the pressure will be on them more than on us. If we get this tactically right and finish our chances, we got this! Good luck, all🤞🇮🇳

My expectations from the game tonight? Unending commitment, unrelenting focus and clinical finishing. Basically, the perfect performance. That is what we will need to beat Australia. Can we do it? Anything is possible! They simply have to believe. Good luck Savita & team 🇮🇳✌️

Unfortunate that the 2 best teams at the tournament squared off at the SF stage. No shame in losing to the very best. Chin up, girls! Still a medal to play for. We got a perfect start & the only thing lacking in that 1st half was a goal. Get that and finish with a Bronze now :)👊

So. Less than 4 weeks to go for the Jr World Cup. India are defending champions and hosts. It is quite simply beyond me how we don't have a single advert about it on TV despite the fact that after the heroics in Tokyo, people will be tuning in big time. Is it deliberate? Or..

खेल जगत में कल कितना कुछ हो गया। लक्ष्य सेन, दो दशक बाद ऑल इंग्लैंड के फाइनल (Men's) में जा पोहोचे। हॉकी से लेकर F1, El Clasico से लेकर ISL ka final... मगर

के खेल पेज को देखोगे, तो लगता है दुनिया में एक ही खेल है। क्या हम बेहतर पत्रकारिता की उम्मीद कर सकते है? 🙏

Skipping CWG? Where has that come from? While I 100% agree with the sentiment that Asiad has to be top priority, why skip CWG? Surely, our pool of 40 players who make up the national camp could do with big match and big tourney experience! CWG is a big one. Major rethink needed!

Throw the baby out with the bathwater! I agree with
@riccharlesworth
when he says "the World Cup (exit) is a pothole on the highway". We need to figure out what our programme is, how it changes and who will drive it with 18 months to go for the Oly and 8 for the Asiad.
