Moqi Hockey Training Base: The Indian men’s hockey team registered a 3-0 victory in their first match of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024 against hosts China at the Moqi Hockey Training Base on Sunday.

Sukhjeet Singh (14‘), Uttam Singh (27‘) and Abhishek (32‘) got on the scoresheet for India. Notably, Gurjot Singh made his debut for India in the match against China.

Defending chamipons India were slow off the blocks while China looked ready, creating an early counter-attack opportunity but an alert Krishan Pathak saw the ball sail wide harmlessly. India pegged China back in the last few minutes of the quarter, registering a few circle entries but no clear chance was made until Jugraj Singh thundered the ball into the shooting circle and Sukhjeet deflected it into the top corner to make it 1-0 for India.
