With Indian hockey team kickstarting its Hockey World Cup 2023 campaign against Spain on Friday, January 13. Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey shared his thoughts on the event and India’s chances.
Dilip Tirkey on BWB Season 4 said, “It is a massive tournament for us. A home world cup is always special and very rarely do you have back-to-back home world cups. If you see the facilities in Odisha, they are superb. We are looking forward to welcoming the world to Odisha and with Covid under control we expect packed houses for most games. All India games are sold out and you will see packed stands. When you have crowd support it automatically gives you a boost and it should be no different for India.”
Tirkey added, “Drag flicks. They are massively important as you know. We have some excellent drag flickers now but we need to ensure we get better and have a plan ahead. Harmanpreet and Rupinder Pal have done superbly well for us and Gurjit has matured over a period of time. But we need to get even better because good drag flickers can win you games. Sandeep and Jugraj both were excellent but then you know what happened to them both and for a period we struggled. Now we have got better again and we must ensure this is sustained.”
Speaking on the show Boria Majumdar said, “It gives me great pleasure to be able to put together this line up and deep dive with India’s best athletes. With Paris 2024 just 18 months away, it will give us an idea of where we are in terms of our preparation while also celebrating what we achieved in 2022. I think all our sponsors, Ageas Federal Life Insurance our presenting partner and Wow Momo, BSV (Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited) and Just My Roots for their continuous support.
