On Sunday, the Indian team showcased their prowess by defeating the host nation 3-0 at the Moqi Hockey Training Base in Hulunbuir, China. The first three quarters saw a consistent display of dominance from the Indian side, with Sukhjeet Singh, Uttam Singh, and Abhishek each finding the back of the net. This strong performance secured a comfortable three-point lead for India.
Under the guidance of coach Craig Fulton, the Indian team is looking to build upon their previous success. Having won the title at home last year, India has now achieved a record-extending fourth Asian Champions Trophy victory. This win reaffirms India’s position as a dominant force in Asian hockey, setting a strong tone for the rest of the tournament.
