We have only played up to 70 percent of our potential: Junior India hockey coach Kumar
Salalah (Oman), May 29 (PTI) India's junior hockey team head coach CR Kumar feels that his team is yet to reach its peak despite reaching the Asia Cup semi-final and would need to raise the bar during the business-end of the tournament.
India qualified for the semifinals of the continental tourney after registering 1-0 victory over Chines Taipei, 3-1 win against Japan, and a 17-0 thrashing of Thailand apart from a hard-fought 1-1 draw against arch-rivals Pakistan.
"It is always good to have tough games before semi-finals and final. We enjoyed it and really played well and proved our potential in the earlier matches but it is only 70 per cent so far. The remaining 30 per cent we will have to attain in the semifinal and final," Kumar said during a virtual press conference from Salalah, Oman.
