India vs Great Britain Hockey

During the quarterfinal match at the Paris Olympics, India's men's hockey team faced Great Britain in a dramatic shootout that ended in controversy over the use of an iPad by British goalkeeper Ollie Payne, which was confiscated after protests from the Indian team. Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey criticized the decision-making and umpiring standards, highlighting that the presence of the iPad and inconsistent video umpire reviews, particularly regarding Amit Rohidas's red card, undermined trust in officiating. Great Britain's coach Paul Revington defended the iPad as merely a digital notepad, while Hockey India called for a thorough review to uphold the sport's integrity. India triumphed in the shootout, progressing to the semifinals, with PR Sreejesh's performance being pivotal. The controversy overshadowed India's achievement and raised questions about the regulation of technology use during high-stakes matches.
