CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Indian men’s hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh credited the team’s remarkable turnaround at the Asia Cup to the ability to analyse and learn from each game swiftly. Despite entering the tournament on the back of a dismal run in the FIH Pro League, where India suffered seven straight defeats, the team transformed their performance—conceding just nine goals and scoring 39 throughout the tournament. Their effort culminated in a decisive 4–1 win over South Korea in the final, which not only ended India’s eight-year title drought but also secured their qualification for the 2026 World Cup

In his post-match reflections, Harmanpreet emphasized that every match offers both positives and negatives, and what truly matters is how quickly the team analyses errors and implements improvements. He praised the team’s solid defense and clinical scoring, while also acknowledging their opponents’ challenges. Now, with this resurgence fresh in their minds, their next focus is the World Cup—a global stage where India aims to make a mark
