In the match played amidst cyclone Ditwah and heavy rain in Chennai, the Indian hockey team defeated Oman badly 17-0. This victory was great for the Indian hockey team in terms of scoring points and improving the goal difference, but the head coach is worried due to the team’s disappointing performance at the penalty corner.

Successful in only 4 out of 19 penalty corners

The Indian hockey team had earned a total of 19 penalty corners in this match, but only 4 of these were able to be converted into goals by the players. This shows that the Indian hockey team needs a lot of improvement in the penalty corner. However, one reason for this was the rain, because due to the rain the ground had become slow and heavy. However, better is expected from the world number 2 team. The weakness of penalty corners was also visible in the recently held Sultan of Johor Cup.

Picked up speed after 15 minutes

In the first 15 minutes of this match in the FIH Men’s Junior World Cup, the Indian players were not able to create any special chances, initially the Oman players were playing very fast. But after 15 minutes the Indian players changed gears and gained momentum. The coordination between the Indian players was excellent, the passing game was also precise. Team India players defeated Oman players with their 360 degree spin and reverse hit. In the fourth minute, Arshdeep scored the goal with a brilliant pass from Ankit Pal.

Arshdeep, Manmeet and Dilraj scored 3 goals each

Of course, Team India’s players disappointed in the penalty corner, but their performance in the field gold was excellent. Arshdeep Singh, Dilraj Singh and Manmeet Singh scored 3 goals each. Ajit Yadav, Gurjot Singh and Ingalemba Luwang scored 2 goals each. Anmol Ikka also scored a goal in the 29th minute.

Of course, India won against Oman by a big margin, but still Team India will have to improve such poor performance in the penalty corner. India will have to work on this before the knockout round.
