Indian women’s hockey team’s victory over Australia is not just a win, know how
In the ongoing hockey matches at the Tokyo Olympics, when the Indian men’s hockey team defeated Great Britain 3-1 on Sunday to reach the semi-finals, there was a wave of happiness across India. But this happiness was doubled by the Indian women’s hockey team on Monday when they also defeated the Australian team, considered to be the title contenders, 1-0 in the quarter-finals. The Indian team has exploded after reaching the semi-finals.
Gurjit Kaur scored the only goal of the game for India by converting a penalty corner in the 22nd minute. It seems that perhaps Shard Morin’s coaching has brought a new edge to the Indian women’s hockey team. In this thorn match, Vandana Kataria wrote a new history by scoring a hat-trick of three goals. She is the first female hockey player from India to score a hat-trick in Olympics.
The Indian women’s hockey team never looked under pressure against Australia. His defense was very strong, which the Australian team could not break even after getting seven penalty corners. Earlier, the Indian men’s team had reached the semi-finals of the 1972 Munich Olympics and won a gold medal in the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
