Uncertainty surrounds the availability of India's key defender and first rusher, Amit Rohidas, for the crucial men's hockey semifinal at the Paris Olympics, following a rare red card during the quarterfinal match against Great Britain.

Rohidas was ejected from the pitch 40 minutes before the final whistle after an accidental incident involving his stick and a rival player, raising questions about his participation in the next match.
