India vs New Zealand Live score, Paris Olympics men’s hockey match updates:

In a thrilling encounter at the Paris Olympics, the Indian men’s hockey team faced off against New Zealand in their opening match. The game started with both teams testing each other’s defense, but it was New Zealand who struck first with a goal through a penalty corner in the 8th minute of the first quarter.

However, India fought back hard, and Mandeep Singh scored an equalizer in the 10th minute of the second quarter to pull them back into the game. The first half ended with the score tied at 1-1, setting the stage for an exciting second half.

The Indian hockey team, led by Harmanpreet Singh, arrived in Paris with the aim of ending their 44-year Gold Medal drought. With a rich history in the sport, including 8 Gold Medals, India is the most successful hockey team in the Olympics. However, they have struggled to make an impact on the big stage in recent years.

The ongoing Olympics is also special for veteran goalkeeper P R Sreejesh, who announced that he will retire after the Paris 2024 Games. With a career spanning 18 years and multiple international caps, Sreejesh will be looking to end on a high with a medal in his final tournament.

The Indian team has undergone rigorous training, both physically and mentally, ahead of the Olympics. They recently completed a three-day training camp in Switzerland under the guidance of renowned mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton to strengthen their mental toughness.

The Paris Olympics will not be an easy ride for India, as they are placed in a tough Pool B alongside hockey giants like Belgium, Australia, and Argentina. However, with a talented squad and a strong determination to succeed, the Men in Blue are ready to give their all and make their mark on the world stage.

Stay tuned for more updates on the India vs New Zealand match as the action unfolds at the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium in Paris.
