From failing to make the quarter-finals of the recent FIH World Cup in January to going on to beat world champions Germany and World No. 1 Australia twice in back-to-back Pro League fixtures (March 10-15) at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Rourkela this week, the Indian hockey team has bounced back brilliantly.
