Sultan Of Johor Cup: India Colts Register A Dominant 4-2 Victory Against Japan
Anand Sourabh Kushwaha: The Indian junior men's hockey team made an impressive start at the Sultan of Johor Cup here on Saturday with a stunning 4-2 win against Japan. Goals were scored by Amir Ali (12'), Gurjot Singh (36'), Anand Sourabh Kushwaha (44') and Ankit Pal (47') in India's win while Tsubasa Tanaka (26') and Rakusei Yamanaka (57') scored for Japan.
India's opening game win was welcomed with a big smile by legendary former India goalkeeper PR Sreejesh, who begins his new innings in hockey as coach of the Indian junior men's team.
It was a high-octane match right from the start with India colts playing attacking hockey, looking for scoring opportunities early in the game. They punctured the Japanese defence when Amir Ali scored a fine field goal in the 12th minute of the match.
