The Indian women's hockey team's superb performance during the current Asian Games was no less than a dream run

#5 Attacking Mindset of Actual Team vs 'Chak De' Team

Gurjit Kaur Lalremsiami Vandana Kataria Udita Navneet Kaur — The girls have looked to attack throughout, averaging 6.5 goals per match.

With 39 goals from just six matches, the girls have displayed an attacking mindset rather than a defensive one. While Gurjit Kaur ended as the team's top scorer with ten goals, Vandana Kataria scored six and Lalremsiami scored four goals.

The movie also shows Preeti Sabharwal (played by Sagarika Ghatge) and Komal Chautala (played by Chitrashi Rawat) take top honours.

However, other players (in the movie) such as Bindiya Naik (played by Shilpa Shukla), Aliya Bose (played by Anaitha Nair) and others chipped in with goals at crucial stages. A similar thing happened in the Asian Games, with captain Rani Rampal and Navjot Kaur scoring three goals each, Lilima Minz, Monika Malik, Neha Goyal and Udita scoring two each, and Deep Grace Ekka scoring a solitary goal as well.
