India comes to the FIH World Cup as favorites because of the home support available in Bhubaneswar and Rourkela. The team will look to end the trophy drought of 48 years as they have never won the title since 1975 when they registered the win over Pakistan.

The teams of the tournament are divided into four groups and each group has four teams.

Pool A: Australia, Argentina, France, and South Africa.

Pool B: Belgium, Germany, South Korea, and Japan.

Pool C: Netherlands, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Chile.

Pool D: India, England, Spain, and Wales

In the previous edition of the quadrennial event, India were knocked out of quarterfinals. India lost the game to Netherlands. Harmanpreet Singh will lead the national side in the upcoming World Cup in India. This time, India is placed alongside England, Spain and Wales in Pool D which makes their ambition to win the top two spots in the group difficult.

One of the most shocking incidents is that the World Cup will not have the most successful team of the tournament in history. The four time champion, Pakistan will not be part of the tournament which will be held in India.

Here is how the teams stacks up ahead of the tournament:
