FIH Pro League: India hammer Germany 6-3
Hindustan TimesThe Indian hockey team continued their winning run in the Pro League on Monday after hammering reigning world champions Germany 6-3 at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela. India beat Germany 6-3 in FIH Pro League A brace each from Abhishek and Selvam Karthi and a goal each from drag-flickers Jugraj Singh and Harmanpreet Singh helped the hosts seal a convincing win that propelled India to the top of the standings in the nine-team league. A minute later Abhishek put India ahead 2-1 as the hosts caught Germany out with a long aerial ball that was missed by Peillat and Antheus Barry, leaving Abhishek with just Stadler to beat and he did that with ease. India made it 6-3 as a brilliant crossfield pass by Dilpreet Singh found Sukhjeet all alone with just Stadler to beat, but he selflessly chose to pass the ball to Abhishek who rolled the ball into an empty goal.
