The Indian team lost to New Zealand in the penalty shoot-out in the crossover match played in Bhubaneswar on January 22, which did not make it to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Many hockey veterans consider Reid responsible for this failure of the team. However, there are many other reasons behind this as well. India had a massive 8-0 win over reigning Asian Games champions Japan in the classification match on Thursday.
