Ishika Chaudhary eyes World Cup debut shock for India

Ishika Chaudhary plays field hockey for India.

She is about to play in the Women's Hockey World Cup for the very first time.

That is a huge tournament where the best teams in the world compete.

It will be held in the Netherlands and Belgium in August.

Ishika says this has always been her dream and it is a great honour.

She had injuries and difficult moments but stayed patient and kept trying.

She thinks India can surprise the stronger teams, just like upsets happened at the recent FIFA World Cup.

She says feeling nervous is normal and even a good sign.

She practises by picturing different game situations in her head.

Her main job is to stop the other team from scoring and be someone her teammates can trust.
