The penalty conversion continues to be the weak spot for the Team despite improvement in other areas. Even one goal in the dying minutes can make a difference between win and loss. Strategy and execution matters a lot.
Indian Hockey League has been a blessing for the players. It has given them confidence, much needed practice to build up stamina and above all an exposure to international players and their way of thinking. We can see how well the Indian players are pushing themselves which is a great sign.
