Embarrassing nation on world stage is intolerable: Ashok Kumar on India's Hockey WC exit

After India failed to reach the Men's Hockey World Cup 2026 semi-finals, 1975 Hockey World Cup-winning hero Ashok Kumar said, "It's one thing to lose a match or two...but embarrassing the country on the world stage is intolerable." "The Indian forward line must be sacked or replaced immediately," Kumar, who is the son of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, added.
