India will begin the FIH Hockey World Cup campaign against Wales. India are eyeing their first World Cup title after 51 years, having first won the title in 1975. Since then, India have failed to reach the top four. But India have shown decent performance in the last few years, having won two Olympic bronzes. They come into the Hockey World Cup after picking some impressive wins over Germany, the Netherlands, England and Pakistan, and will be confident of a strong showing.
