India eyeing top two finish in Hero Hockey World League 2017 Semi-final: Manpreet

 

Ever-improving Indian men’s hockey team captain Manpreet Singh on Wednesday said the past masters of the game are eyeing a top two finish in the upcoming Hockey World League (HWL) Semi-finals in London.



But it will be easier said than done as India will have to fight it out against top teams like Argentina, Netherlands, England, Korea and Malaysia for the top honours.



“While our aim is to finish top 2 in London, it’s important we play match by match and not take any team lightly especially in the pool stage,” said Manpreet, who will lead the side in the absence of regular skipper PR Sreejesh, who is recovering from an injury.
