What I am saying is. Till we have a real 6 month domestic league which developsa real pool, we will have an odd victory here and there that's all...however Pakistan somehow has a. Knack of producing top class hockey talent consistently
Infrastructure wise India has improved a lot in every sport and that is showing in the quality between the countries. Further the internal politics and conflicts is not helping Pakistan economy and development either. If things does not stable quickly, the gap between the countries will increase.
Embarassment as Basketball competitions are scrapped. India Basketball Association is sort of unrecognised by International Body and their are threats of more sanctions.
Deepa kc,if you'll observe closely,than Pakistan also reached the Final of Champions Trophy according to the same format as India did won bronze here.Also,Belgium finished 3rd in their pool but went on to win Silver medal.So it suits or doesn't suit everyone and not just India.Also,if you closely observe than this is actually the format which is followed across all team sports except Hockey.
Two pools of 6 teams.Top 4 in each group qualify for quarters with 4 th of one group facing 1st of other other and so on.
