Returning to international action almost after a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian side started with a couple of draws against Argentina before going down in the following games. Against Germany too, the Rani Rampal-led side have lost all four of their games.

Navjot Kaur believes despite not getting a win, the players showed a lot of character in keeping the world No.2 Argentina and Germany always on their toes.

She admitted that the Indian women learned how the top teams prepare for the games that will help them get a better understanding and fine tune as a unit.

India women’s team focussing on defence, attack - Navjot Kaur

The Indian women’s team are currently in the national camp at the Sports Authority of India center in Bengaluru. Following the conclusion of the camp on April 7, the players will get a 10-day break.

The 26-year-old Navjot Kaur, who was part of the Indian side at the Rio Olympics, also said that much has changed in the last five years. One of Marijne’s go-to players for goals, Navjot will have to play a bigger role in mentoring her teammates in Tokyo.
