Coach CR Kumar has implored his players to improve their conversion in the Junior Hockey World Cup’s bronze medal encounter against Spain on Saturday if they aspire for a place on the podium.

India wasted over a dozen penalty corners in their 1-4 semi-final defeat to Germany and cannot afford to repeat their mistakes against Spain, who gave them a convincing 5-1 drubbing in the preliminary league encounter. A couple of months ago, India had outplayed them 6-2 in a four-nation junior tournament at Dusseldorf.
