Paris Olympics 2024: This Indian team is special. They have created history and defeated the Mighty Australia for the first time in 52 years in an Olympic event. It was the first time that India won against Australia on an artificial turf surface.
Once again, the main anchors of the win were skipper Harmanpreet Singh and the Wall PR Sreejesh. These two were on fire. One scored twice against the Kangaroos and the other was not letting them score.
It was a perfect outing for the Blues right before the quarter-final. India had already qualified for the knockouts but this win is a statement to all the teams. A statement that states that we are coming for that Gold again.
Skipper Harmanpreet Singh
The ‘Sarpanch Sahab’ was on fire and scored twice against Australia. Abhishek opened the account for the Indian team and Harmanpreet doubled the lead right before the end of the first quarter.
Australia tried to come back in the game with a goal in the third quarter but the skipper restored the lead once again with a penalty stroke in the final quarter. After that Sreejesh did not let the Kangaroos pass.
Sreejesh made multiple saves and showed everyone why he is considered the best goalkeeper in the world. He was like a wall that the Aussies were not able to break no matter how hard they tried.
