India banks on Diwakar

HYDERABAD: India’s hopes will rest once again on drag flicker Diwakar Ram when it defends its title against Korea in the sixth Junior Asia Cup hockey championship final on Friday.

Not often in recent memory has one player in an Indian hockey team made so much difference, although the coach A.K. Bansal stresses that it is ultimately the team effort which clinches victory.

The Koreans are looking to Nam Hyu Woon, who always gets splendid support from Dong Hyun, Seo Jun Su and Bae Jong Suk, to define the course of the match. — Principal Correspondent
