Indian hockey back on 'road to gold' after years in the wilderness

India's men's hockey team, under coach Craig Fulton, is undergoing intense training in Bengaluru with ambitions of returning to Olympic glory. Once dominant in the sport, having won eight Olympic gold medals, the team has struggled for decades but recently achieved success with wins against top teams like Pakistan, Germany, and the Netherlands. The squad aims to win the upcoming World Cup in the Netherlands and Belgium and then defend their Asian Games gold in Japan to qualify for the 2028 Olympics. Captain Harmanpreet Singh expresses confidence in their ability to reclaim Olympic gold, while Fulton acknowledges the high expectations and competitive nature of international hockey.
