After the setback against Korea, the Indian captain Manpreet Singh said the team would look to bounce back against Bangladesh. Speaking post the India vs Korea match, Manpreet said the team lost some momentum in the last two quarters of the match.
"Korea were really good today with their defense and their goalkeeper was quite outstanding," he said. "We expected them to give us a hard time and hence it was important we started well. But we couldn't keep up that momentum going into the third and fourth quarter. Nonetheless, this was the first match of the tournament and we will surely bounce back against Bangladesh."
India have rested eight players who were a part of the bronze medal-winning team at the Tokyo Olympics.
