India conceded six penalty corners, while earned just two against Korea. &ldquo;We are very happy that we got the three points and that&rsquo;s the positive side. But we have to more clinical in both circles. We conceded two goals in penalty corners which we need to pay attention to,&rdquo; Kumar said after the Korea match.
&ldquo;We gave away too many many penalty corners, six in the whole game where we had just two. We need to be more cautious.&rdquo; &nbsp;
India are striving to secure their fourth podium finish in the event after having won the tournament twice in 2001 (Hobart) and Lucknow (2016).
