K. ARUMUGAM
This is positive news. A goody 9000 strong crowd turned up yesterday to witness what is surely an inconsequential Series despite being held on a working day that too in working hours. They must have returned disappointed as Harmanpreet Singh’s team failed upfront, played at half pace to finish the day without a goal on board. All the more frustrating was the fact that captain himself failed with a stroke!

International hockey finally returned to the national capital, Delhi, after a gap of nine years — 10 years in the case of the men’s team. However, the comeback wasn’t exactly what the team or the fans had hoped for. World No. 2 Germany defeated fifth-ranked India 2-0, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story. While India were missing key players like Hardik Singh, Jugraj Singh, Boby Singh Dhami, and Uttam Singh, the Germans arrived with most of their Under-21 world champions from last year. Yet, on Wednesday, at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, it was the Germans who dominated the game like a home team after drawing first blood.
