Earlier, the side handed over a 4-2 penalty shoot-out defeat to Great Britain in the quarters. During the match, India`s player Amit Rohidas was shown a red card following his incident of raising his stick against a Great Britain player.&nbsp;
The Indian side was reduced to 10 men and played for more than 40 minutes.
Goalkeeper, PR Sreejesh who is making his last tournament, showcased a rock-solid defence by making saves after saves.
Down by a man, it was India who took the lead through Harmanpreet Singh in the 22nd minute from a penalty corner before Great Britain drew level through Lee Morton from a field effort in the 27th minute.
Once Rohidas, a key defender and India`s first rusher was given the controversial marching order, Great Britain attacked in numbers, constantly trying to take advantage of the one-man lead.
