Impressive scores! 14-0 and 10-0 are dominant performances. But I hope the competition level is being gauged properly - we need closer matches to truly test these young players under pressure. Still, great to see hockey thriving.
As a hockey fan from Punjab, it's heartwarming to see academies like Bhai Behlo Hockey Academy Bhagta producing such talented girls. Captain Deepa Upadhyay's hat-trick is amazing! We need more coverage of women's sports in India. 👏
Fantastic to see the depth in Indian hockey. My cousin played in similar tournaments 10 years ago - these girls have so much more professionalism now. The future of Indian hockey looks bright, especially with the Hockey India structure.
While the wins are great, 14-0 scores worry me about the quality gap between teams. Hockey India should ensure better seeding or preparatory camps for weaker teams. Still, very proud of our girls! 💪
Amazing performances all around! Ritu and Puja Kumari Shaw with two goals each, and Tanvi from Raja Karan Academy also scoring a brace. These girls are going to be future stars for India. So glad women's hockey is getting this recognition! 🏏🎉
