#5 Champions Trophy 2016
India’s best performance in recent times came when they won the silver medal in the 2016 FIH Champions Trophy in the United Kingdom, They had previously won only one bronze medal at the tournament back in 1982.
India faced the ‘best of the best’ Australia in a thrilling final, where they lost on penalties. The Indians refused to bow down to the might of the Kookaburras and fought with grit and vigour.
The Aussies were placed six spots above the Indians in the FIH Rankings. The Indian team won a lot of hearts with their brave display as they held Australia to a goal-less draw at the end of regular time but eventually went down in the shootout.
