Hockey Asia Cup: Three Score Hat-tricks As India Thrash Kazakhstan 15-0 To Top Pool A
For India, Abhishek (5’, 8’, 20’, 59’), Sukhjeet Singh (15’, 32’, 38’), and Jugraj Singh (24’, 31’, 47’) scored the hat-tricks, whilst Captain Harmanpreet Singh (26’), Amit Rohidas (29’), Sanjay (54’), Dilpreet Singh (55’) also got on the scoresheet. India, who had already qualified for the Super 4s, finished the league stage at the top of the points table in Pool A with nine points from three games.
Along expected lines, the Indian men’s hockey team started on the front foot. Kazakhstan did well to absorb the pressure initially, but Abhishek (5’) found himself in space and hammered it home from the top of the circle to make it 1-0 to India. The Kazakhstan side did make a few forays into the Indian half, but before they could do much damage, Abhishek (8’) doubled the lead with a powerful hit. Just before the end of the first quarter, Captain Harmanpreet Singh had his shot from the Penalty Corner stopped. And right after, Abhishek set it up for Sukhjeet Singh (15’), who tapped it into the net to make it 3-0 at the hooter.
