The Indian women’s team had also won a gold after beating Sri Lanka in the final. “So, I feel really happy. I thought we really stuck together and played well. It was quite challenging since we came to Japan. You know, the rain followed us in Tokyo and then to the venue here.
But overall, I think the team really played well, and I’m very happy with the result,” he said.
