So today is the day, India! Our women’s hockey team would finally be competing in the Olympic semi-finals for the first time in history. This is a huge moment for the team as well as the entire nation. The anticipation is high and we cannot really wait to see the team in action ‘coz last time it happened, we legit had goosebumps. Without an iota of doubt, the Indian women’s hockey team’s quarter-final match with Australia was an experience in itself. As India gears up for the big win today, we thought of getting you all pumped up for the match by looking back at all the exciting moments from the quarterfinal match. Be warned fam–this might tear you up.

Rani’s Emotional Moment
