In addition, he also opined on the threat posed by their opponents in the next game.

"All our opponents are tough in this competition. They are all champions of their respective states and cannot be taken lightly. It will be a good battle for both the teams," he concluded.

Off to winning starts, Odisha Sports and Indian Arrows will look to continue in same vein when they lock horns in another match.
