Men’s Pro League: Dilip Tirkey Congratulates India On Strong End To Bhubaneswar Leg With Win Over England
Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey: The Indian men’s hockey team ended the Bhubaneswar leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League 2024/25 on a high, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over England at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium here on Tuesday. Captain Harmanpreet Singh led from the front, scoring twice to propel India to a crucial win and lift them to third place in the standings.
Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey congratulated the side on a successful Bhubaneswar leg after the exciting win. “We had defeated England in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics despite being reduced to nine men. Today as well we have once again beaten them. Overall the experience of the FIH Pro League was a great one and I congratulate the team on the performance,“ Dilip told IANS.
England entered the contest with momentum following their thrilling 3-2 victory less than 24 hours earlier. But they struggled to create clear chances in the opening exchanges. India, on the other hand, displayed early attacking intent but lacked precision in the final third during a cagey first quarter.
