New Delhi, Jan 9 (Ians) Hockey has once again captured the pulse of the nation as the Fih Men’s World Cup 2023 is all set to kick-start in Odisha on January 13.
The sport has made impressive improvements in the country in recent years. However, it is disheartening to say that a nation that ruled the world once, is now trying hard to earn the lost glory! But as it is said “something is better than nothing”.

Now the Men in Blue face a bigger challenge of ending another longer drought — the wait for the Men’s Hockey World Cup which has stretched to 47 years.
