When Australian legend Jamie Dwyer expressed his views towards the outing of both India and Australia in the Commonwealth Games 2014, the Indian Men Hockey team's Captain Sardar Singh too shared the same feelings andis keen to see the Kookaburras clashing against his team in the finals of the upcoming Commonwealth Games at Glasgow, Scotland.
With just a day left for the inauguration of the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Glasgow, Scotland, the Men Hockey Team of India is upbeat towards accepting any and every challenge coming their way in the tournament and a win is what rules the mind of every player in the team.
Speaking on the preparations of the team, Indian Men Hockey Team Captain Sardar Singh said,"Just like my counterpart legend Jamie Dwyer, we too would like to see Australia in the finals with us. While we had lost the match against Australia in the World Cup, the second half of the game cannot be overlooked, as our defence made a significant come back in restricting Australia's goal scoring spree. Our defence line-up is in place and now it is time for the forwards to deliver their best."
Speaking on the practice match against England, Captain Sardar Singh added, “The team is showing major signs of improvement and the players' is morale is on a high as we took on England in the recent practice match and won by 3-2. We played fast hockey with our passes being the key in beating them during our practice game. The training sessions have grown intense and faster as the testing time approaches. We have worked on the pace of the game and the team is in form with the passing.”
The Men Hockey Team will clash with Wales on 25th July 2014 in their first match of the 2014 Commonwealth Games at Scotland.
