Commonwealth Games 2018: Three things that went wrong for the Indian Men's Hockey Team at Gold Coast

#2 Penalty Corner Woes

The Indian Team would need to work hard on improving their lackluster PC conversions

The struggles from short corners just do not seem to leave the Indian team. What's more surprising is the fact that apart from Rupinder and Harmanpreet Singh in the team, India also had the likes of Amit Rohidas and Varun Kumar, who are equally dangerous on their day.

Yet, the results were depressing.

From a total of 39 Penalty Corners throughout the entire tournament, the Men In Blue converted just 10 of them meaning the conversion rate was just a paltry 25%.

During the match against Wales, India scored three goals from a total of 13 short corners and the Welshmen scored the same amount in the game from just four chances they were awarded.

The team was also one dimensional in their approach when it came to PC's which gave the opposition defense to rush out and close down the threat with relative ease.

With the likes of Gonzalo Peillat and Loick Luypaert winning games for their teams almost single-handedly through short corners, this is one area that the Indian team will look to rectify ahead of the next two major tournaments.
