Following a historic 3-2 victory over Tokyo Games silver medallist Australia, India's men's hockey team is riding a wave of confidence as they prepare to face Great Britain in the Paris Olympics quarterfinals. Their recent win marks India’s first victory over Australia at the Olympics in 52 years, last defeating them during the 1972 Munich Olympics.

India's strategy and coordination were on full display, particularly in the first two quarters against Australia.
