From a fierce striker on the field to a soft-spoken trainer off it, Australian Glenn Turner, 34, has come a long way. The softness has probably come around since he's been busy training the Indian women's team's strikers in an eight-day camp in Bangalore. Done with it, he was at Kalinga Stadium here yesterday for a Team India training session.

The two-time World Cup-winner (2010 & 2014) said he is impressed with what he's seen of the men's team so far at this World Cup, the strikers particularly. "The Indian strikers scored some nice goals the other night [against Canada]. You have to be calm but also fast inside the circle. That's the hardest thing. You can't be slow, but you also can't be frantic else you'll miss the ball.
