The Indian men’s hockey team dropped one place to fifth in the FIH world rankings issued on Monday, despite its two wins against Olympic champions Argentina in the Pro League matches.

India registered a comprehensive 3-0 win over Argentina on Sunday in Buenos Aires in the second match of the FIH Pro League. The Manpreet Singh-led side had also won the first match in a penalty shoot-out on Saturday.

But, the Indian team moved down a rung from the fourth spot it occupied in the January rankings though it accumulated more points — 2223.458 — than the previous chart — 2064.10.
