Former India hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh has told the current national team not to let the pressure of the upcoming World Cup affect their performance. The advice comes as India prepare for the tournament, with Sreejesh drawing on his experience of playing in multiple World Cups.
PR Sreejesh's advice is sound, but Indian hockey fans have heard such pep talks before. The real test is whether the current team can convert good counsel into wins under pressure. Past World Cup campaigns have shown that mental fragility, not skill, often trips India. With a young squad, the question is not whether they feel pressure, but whether they can play through it when trailing by a goal in the knockout rounds.
