They may have come a cropper in the World Cup but Indian hockey players are the most skillful in the world and all they need to become a force to reckon with internationally is planning and organisation, feels legendary Argentine drag-flicker Jorge Lombi.

Veteran Jorge Lombi scored a hat-trick as Argentina beat New Zealand 3-2 to win the Champions Challenge men's hockey tournament.
He was blessed with celestial ability, a once-in-a-generation player destined to pull India out of its hockey inertia and lay down for it a new, exciting, path of greatness.
