New Delhi: The Indian women’s hockey team created history on Monday at Oi Hockey Stadium — North Pitch — as they qualified for the semi-finals of the Olympics for the very first time after defeating Australia 1-0.
“Splendid performance. Women’s hockey team is scripting history with every move at #Tokyo2020. We are into the semifinals of the Olympics for the 1st time beating Australia. 130 crore Indians to the women’s hockey team — we’re right behind you,” tweeted Thakur.
