In the first match of the series, Indians were drubbed 4-0. In the second game, Indians did better and win the match 2-1. In the third match, the victory margin was 1-0 and finally, they won 3-1 in the last match to take the series 3-1. The last victory came in skipper Sardar Singh’s 200th international game.
“Credit goes to my coaches Terry Walsh and @OltmansOltmans & my team mates for a successful Australian test series! #200thcap,” tweeted Sardar Singh following the historic series win. While this is a very positive sign for India, Hockey experts have warned Indian players and fans not to be complacent, as Australia had rested 13 senior members of the team and fielded mostly junior players in the series.
