High on their historic Olympic bronze medal win at the Tokyo Games last year, Harmanpreet Singh’s Team India can carry the momentum into the World Cup that begins in Odisha on Friday (January 13 to 29) and emerge champions, insists two-time World Cupper (Monchegladbach 2006 and New Delhi 2010) — goalkeeper Adrian D’Souza.

“If we can excel in the penalty corner department through captain and star drag-flicker Harmanpreet [Singh] and defend the goal well with my good friend Sreejesh under the bar, I have no doubt that we can go all the way in the tournament,” D’Souza said at a hockey seminar organised by the Sports Journalists’ Association of Mumbai (SJAM) at Don Bosco, Matunga, on Wednesday.
