The Indian sporting fraternity will be in the hockey fever for the next couple of weeks as the 2023 FIH Hockey World Cup is all set to get started on Friday in Odisha, with Bhubaneshwar and Rourkela being the two venues for the beautiful event. Belgium is the defending champion, having won its maiden title during the 2018 edition in Bhubaneshwar.
