The Indian junior men’s hockey team suffered a 2-4 defeat against Australia in its fourth pool-stage match of the ongoing Sultan of Johor Cup 2025 in Johor, Malaysia. Indian captain Rohit (22') and Arshdeep Singh (60') scored for the Blue Colts while Oscar Sproule (39', 42'), Andrew Patrick (40'), and Captain Dylan Downey (51') were the goalscorers for Australia.

The first quarter saw a tight contest between both sides; however, India dominated the possession and dictated the tempo of the game. In the early moments, Australia came close to scoring but were met with a brilliant save by Prince Deep Singh, after which the Blue Colts hardly put a foot wrong in the first half.
