Gurjant has now scored goals in both FIH Pro League matches against the Netherlands here. In the first match, he scored a goal in 13 seconds and became the fastest Indian to score a goal. He explains, "I improved the game on the advice of Chief Coach Graham Reid and managed to make a comeback to the senior team." Our Chief Coach Graham Reid has given us the mantra to give us full strength to win even after not losing courage. We are all following his mantra. We have to do consistently better against the top teams.

I am eyeing a good performance first against World Cup champions Belgium and then No. 1 team Australia.' Today, teams around the world are afraid of the Indian team's counter-attacks.
