Rani Rampal, Captain of Indian Women’s Hockey team expressing her disappointment, said, “We were disappointed after the match as this was a chance to directly qualify for Tokyo Olympics and we missed it. We couldn't create history. There's definitely disappointment in us but I think we should rejoice the silver.” Not only did their 36 year wait for gold were spoiled, with this loss the Indian women’s hockey team missed a golden chance for direct qualification to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This gold would have meant direct qualification to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
