With an eye on the title,a resurgent India will be eyeing to start their Azlan Shah Cup campaign on a winning note when they take on debutants Egypt in the opening match of the five-nation hockey tournament on Sunday. India,on a redemption journey after last years Olympic debacle,are on a high after a recent run of success at home and Down Under,including the runners-up finish at the Punjab Gold Cup in Chandigarh. But coach-in-charge Harendra Singh is in no mood to take Egypt lightly as he wants to use the platform as a build up to the Asia Cup. For the Asian teams the priority is the Asia Cup in May. This is just a testing ground. The teams playing here will be eyeing to to develop a strategy for the Asia Cup, he said. Three-time champions India won the title in 1985,1991 and 1995 before losing out to Argentina last year by the golden goal. Harendra was upbeat after India defeated the highest-ranked team in the tournament New Zealand 2-1 in a practice game on Friday.
