Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan gave a heartwarming reply to India women’s team hockey coach Sjoerd Marijne on Twitter after the historic win over Australia at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday. The Indian women’s hockey team led by Rani Rampal defeated Australia in the quarterfinal in Tokyo 2020 to book a spot in the semifinals for the first time in history.
A fantastic dragflick from Gurjit Kaur from a penalty corner gave India the lead in the second quarter of the match, and despite earning seven penalty corners, the World No. 2 team Australia were unable to get a goal in the match, losing by 1-0.
