India Vs Spain LIVE Score, FIH Hockey Pro League 2025-26: Hardik To Captain IND In Harmanpreet’s Absence

The national anthems are underway, starting with Spain and now India. Athletes are lined up on the pitch, focused and ready to kick off what promises to be an exciting clash.

The coach is all about tightening things up today. “We need to transition better than we did in the last four games. Defence is key. We’ll get a few chances, so we just need to take them,” he says. Looks like India are going in focused and ready to turn possession into goals.

India head to Hobart aiming to bounce back after a disappointing Rourkela leg in the 2025–26 FIH Men’s Pro League, where they lost all four matches. With captain Harmanpreet Singh unavailable for personal reasons, Hardik Singh takes over the leadership role, bringing a positive, aggressive mindset.

The squad blends youth and experience, retaining newcomers Amandeep Lakra and Manmeet Singh while recalling Maninder Singh and Angad Bir Singh. India and Spain have been evenly matched in recent encounters, each claiming four wins in their last 10 games, with India taking both draws via shootouts, setting up a competitive clash in Hobart.

Fans in India can catch the Hobart leg of the FIH Hockey Pro League live on the Star Sports Network, with streaming also available on JioHotstar for those who prefer to watch online.
