After a rollercoaster ride at the Paris Olympics which saw the Indian men's hockey team clinch bronze, it's time for some more mouthwatering hockey action as the Men in Blue prepare to defend their title in the Asian Champions Trophy at Hulunbuir City in Inner Mongolia, China.
The event will feature six participants and all of them have been grouped into a single pool. India will open their campaign against China on Sunday and will be led by the ace drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh. Notably, this will be India's first tournament without their star goalkeeper PR Sreejesh after he stepped away from the game at the end of India's campaign in Paris.
The onus will now be on Krishan Bahadur Pathak and Suraj Karkera to replace a stalwart like Sreejesh.
