Will not give ball possession easily: Lalit Upadhyay

Confident after registering two wins in the ongoing Hockey World League Semi-Final, Indian midlfielder Lalit Upadhayay said the team will look to improve ball-possession in the next couple of games against Pakistan and Australia.
After opening their account with 3-2 win against France, India came up with an improved showing against Poland with a convincing 3-0 triumph. Upadhayay said that India are eyeing a clean sweep in the league phase.
"While we won the first two matches, the next two against Pakistan and Australia are the ones we are looking forward to. We have been delivering as a unit and ensuring that we do not give up ball possession easily. Our target from here is to take a clean sweep in the pool phase," said Upadhayay.

The Walmiki brothers, Yuvraj and Devindar were on target and then skipper Sardar Singh found the net to outplay Poland in familiar cold conditions.
Upadhayay was all praise for Devinder's attacking skills.
"His skills in the D are remarkable and the key is his reaction time. He knows how and where to hit and he does it so swiftly which leaves many thinking post that. He will have to keep this momentum on in the upcoming matches," he said.
