The Indian Men's Hockey team put up an electrifying performance to win their opening game of the FIH Hockey Men's World Cup 2023 here at the brand-new Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium by a score of 2-0 against Spain. Amit Rohidas, a local boy, and Hardik Singh, a teenage midfielder, both of whom scored, were responsible for the hosts' surprising victory, which was made possible by a rock-solid defence.
England, the opposition for the second Pool D match against the Indian Team, is coming off a commanding 5-0 victory against Wales.
