In a thrilling final of the Asian Champions Trophy, Indian men’s hockey team prevailed 3-2 over arch-rivals Pakistan to reclaim the continental trophy.
Goals from Rupinder Pal Singh ,Yousuf Affan and Nikkin Thimmaiah were enough to give the Indian team the bragging rights of Asia. But no one can deny that it was a hard-fought win. The Indians were looking on course to win the final after taking a 2-0 lead but Pakistan made the match interesting by scoring two goals inside 12 minutes. This is the second time India have won the Asian Championship title. India had won the inaugural edition of the Asian Champions Trophy by defeating the same opposition in the final in 2011.
It was a perfect Diwali gift from the Hockey team to their countrymen and as expected, the triumph was celebrated with great pomp throughout the nation. And Virender Sehwag once again stole the show with his post on Twitter. The former opening batsman, who has trolled Pakistan on several occasions, once again took the opportunity to take a dig at them.
He tweeted:
