Despite Team India’s ninth-place finish, the worst by a host nation, India captain and chief drag flicker Harmanpreet Singh insisted that his team hadn’t fared badly. Speaking after their 5-2 win over South Africa in their last classification match at the Birsa Munda Stadium in Rourkela on Saturday night, Harmanpreet actually said that his team had played well overall.
“We did not lose a single match in the tournament, barring the Crossover clash against New Zealand which we lost in the shootout,” said Harmanpreet. World No. 6 India opened their campaign with a 2-0 win over Spain, followed by a 0-0 draw against England and a 4-2 victory over Wales in the group stages.
