Indian hockey team return home
The Indian team beat World Champions Australia 3-1 to win three successive matches and hence clinch the four-match Test series in Perth.
Speaking on winning the series, Captain Sardar Singh was quoted as saying by Hockey India website: “I am extremely happy with the way our team has performed in the entire series. And there could be no better gift to my completion of 200 international caps than this momentary win. This will act as a motivation for the boys to give a better performance in the upcoming Champions Trophy. I am confident that the boys will perform well in the upcoming tournament.”
Congratulating the team for the win on their arrival, Hockey India Secretary General Md. Mushtaque Ahmad said, “Team India had a good game against Australia in the test series which is a good sign of confidence and control. Also, Sardar Singh’s achievement of completing 200 international caps has added a glory to the win. I look forward and feel the team is all ready to take up more challenges and deliver even better results in the Champions Trophy which is our next focus.”
