Sad but India gave a good fight. Yuki Bhambri was the weakest link and coming for injury, it was a poor selection to let him play 2 Singles. It is debatable whether he was the best choice available. This tie was lost because of poor planning by India. India should have chosen hot and humid place like Chennai to put physical toll on Serbia. Instead cool and salubrious Bangalore weather helped Serbia. Small things like that matter a lot. 3-2 loss, it was close!!!!!
Well India defeated Chinese Taipei and Korea in Asia Oceania Group to reach World Group Playoffs. You were expecting India to be Davis Cup champion or what??? Only 16 teams reach World Group. India Team ranking is 23rd in the world.
Indian men's hockey team will face Sri Lanka in Asian Games opener today. The format of international hockey changes. Now four quarters of 15 minutes each. 40 sec time outs after goal scored or when penalty corner awarded.
I think this new format will help Asian teams catch up
