Six matches, six defeats as Craig Fulton’s India continue to struggle in FIH Pro League; lose 2-3 again vs Australia
It has been a strange run for the Tokyo and Paris Olympics bronze medallists, and the 2-3 defeat on Sunday in Antwerp against their nemesis Australia, is probably the only match where they have been outplayed.

In tennis terms, the Indian men’s hockey team have been handed a bagel set – 0-6 in their last six matches of the FIH Pro League over the last couple of weeks – but most of those six games have gone to deuce or 30-40 at least. They haven’t been able to break their opponents or hold serve on their own and that reflects on the scoreboard.

400 Caps and Counting: Hockey Legend Manpreet Singh Etches His Name in History
The midfield maestro is only the second-ever Indian hockey player to complete 400 international caps
Antwerp: As the sun dipped behind the stands of Wilrijkse Plein in Antwerp and the Indian national anthem played once again, there stood a familiar figure—poised, composed, with eyes filled with purpose. For the 400th time, hockey icon Manpreet Singh walked out wearing the India jersey, adding his name to an elite list of legends who have graced the world stage with unwavering consistency and heart
Manpreet’s 400 caps a tribute to his resilience and commitment
K. ARUMUGAM
Double Olympic medallist Manpreet Singh has just scaled a new high, 400th international cap. Only second Indian after Dilip Tirey to sport the feat, Manpreet’s name is synonymous with present resurgent India. His team lost to Australia on Sunday, but his feat partly covered the defeat. I first saw him at Perth in the Tri-Series (other teams being Pakistan and Australia) in 2011 which was only his second international outing after Ordos Asian Champions Trophy. There was no inkling that the lean looking novice from Punjab would become a living legend as he is today. Michael Knobbs was the coach, who used him sparingly. He shone whatever time was given. Its not every time that a youngster gets to make international debut in a major continental event as ACT and win the gold. He is veritably the golden boy of modern India.
Manpreet Singh enters elite club, becomes second Indian with 400 international caps – ‘Beyond anything I imagined’
From his debut in 2011 as a spirited 19-year-old to becoming the heartbeat of the Indian midfield, Manpreet’s career mirrors Indian hockey’s resurgence.

It was a special moment for Manpreet Singh on Sunday in Antwerp as he entered an elite club in international hockey, becoming the second Indian to represent India 400 times, behind only former Captain and current Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey (412 caps). As per available stats, Manpreet is the eighth player in men’s international hockey to achieve the feat.

Before the match, India women’s hockey team head coach had a simple wish. What he witnessed on Saturday in the third and fourth quarters against Australia – where his side fought back from 0-3 down to make it 2-3 in a hard-fought defeat – he wanted to see in the first two quarters on Sunday in the FIH Pro League rematch. “I want us to start in the first two quarters as we played in the last two, where we executed our plans really well.” He got that wish as India took the lead early. Unfortunately, Australia broke Indian hearts with practically the final action of the day, snatching a winner with under 30 seconds left on the clock, to prevail 2-1 in London.

Thundering Comebacks and Fiery Exchanges on Day 1 as the FIH Nations Cup Malaysia 2025 Begins
Under the unpredictable Kuala Lumpur skies, an exhilarating day of hockey opened the Nations Cup Malaysia 2025 with a storm of goals, comebacks and explosive contests that hinted at the fantastic competition that is to come. Twelve final-quarter goals, including five from France in their 6-5 comeback win over Korea, were a mark of the attacking firepower on display and a reminder of how desperate these nations are to earn that coveted prize of a spot in the FIH Pro League. Pool A saw two incredible comebacks: one earning France all three points over Korea to top the standings, and the other seeing South Africa forcibly take a point from a frustrated Wales side. After delays to the Pool B games due to lightning and rain, New Zealand belatedly began their title defence with a well-deserved 2-1 win over Asian Games champions Japan. Surrounded by raucous home support, Malaysia drew 3-3 with a fiery Pakistan side that may well be frustrated to not be matching the Blacksticks’ three points at the top of Pool B.
