Forward Araijeet Singh Hundal: Forward Araijeet Singh Hundal netted a hat-trick as the Indian Junior Men's Hockey Team beat Asian rivals Korea in their opening match of the FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup Malaysia 2023 here at the National Hockey Stadium on Tuesday.

Araijeet (11', 16', 41') netted thrice, while Amandeep (30') chipped in with a goal for India. Dohyun Lim (38') and Minkwon Kim (45') were the goalscorers for Korea.

It was a quiet start to the match, with both teams trying to create spaces in each other's halves, but couldn't cause much danger. With a slightly better ball possession, India came up with the first real attack, but Sudeep Chirmako's reverse flick from the right flank went over the goalpost.
