Our hockey team has done our country proud on several occasions - but have we failed them?
In an ad film promoting the Fintro World League semi-finals to be held in Belgium from June 20, players from the men's hockey team tell us what the future holds for Indian hockey based on their stellar performance in the recent past.
"World ke top five teams ko humne haraya hai," says Sreejesh Raveendran. "Australia ko unhi ke ghar mein harake humne series jeeti hai," adds Birendra Lakra.
Here's the problem though. "The world knows about it, but India doesn't," says Chief Coach Paul van Ass.
The players go on to add how they beat Pakistan to win the 2014 Asian Games gold and became the first team to qualify for the 2016 Olympics.
But despite these big achievements, they're left disappointed. Watch the video below to know what it is and shout out your support for our hockey team.
