Sourabh Anand Kushwaha: India Colts ended their campaign at the prestigious Sultan of Johor Cup junior men's hockey tournament with a bronze medal after they beat New Zealand 2-2 (3-2) in a thrilling shootout here on Saturday. India's goalkeeper Bikramjit Singh held his nerves to make three excellent saves while strikers Gurjot Singh, Manmeet Singh and Sourabh Anand Kushwaha scored in the tense shootout.
Earlier in regulation time, Dilraj Singh (11') and Manmeet Singh (20') had given India a roaring start but New Zealand thawed India's plans in the final quarter with goals by Owen Brown (51') and Jonty Elmes (57').
India got off the blocks with a tactful and compact attack. Swift, short passes and skilful dribbling helped them find success as early as in the 11th minute when Dilraj Singh scored from an assist made by Mukesh Toppo.
