Live Results: IND vs. ESP Viren Rasquinha will be India's starting goalie at the 2023 Hockey World Cup.

We have a strong and seasoned midfielder in captain Manpreet Singh, and we also have Hardik, who has had a fantastic campaign. Young Vivek Sagar Prasad is making great strides. Nilakanta Sharma is a dynamic player on the field, but I believe Abhishek is the young forward in the front line who has most impressed me over the past 12 months. Although he only recently made his team debut, I will say that he has cemented his position there. He had a great Commonwealth Games, and we also have seasoned players like Mandeep and Lalit Kumar Upadhyay. It is a strong, balanced squad overall, and in a team sport like hockey, everyone must do their part.India's chances of taking home a medal are much increased when everyone does their part to the fullest extent feasible "Rasquinha said,

Viren Rasquinha on India's star players

"I believe that the goalkeepers and defence will be starting players for India in this World Cup. With the idea that your goalie must have a great tournament if you want to win tournaments, both Sreejesh and Krishan Pathak will really play a very vital part today. Sreejesh and Krishan Pathak will therefore have a great deal of duty to bear. Given his nomination for the FIH global player of the year, it goes without saying that Harmanpreet Singh has a crucial role to play in the defence Over the past several years, he has been India's top defender. Rasquinha stated that his conversions from penalty corners are very crucial.
