Indian created history by beating Belgium 2-1 in the final of the Hockey Junior World Cup in Lucknow and lifted the coveted trophy. The Indian team celebrated the victory by breaking into an impromptu bhanga as the Belgium players looked devastated to lose in their maiden final appearance. The junior Indian team was playing in their third final and deservingly emerged world champions after a gap of 15 years. The first host country to do so.

Egged on by a vociferous home support at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, India dominated proceedings from the world go and took the lead in the 8th minute through Gurjant Singh. The move  started with a scoop by Sumit, Gurjant trapped it and sent the ball into the goal with a rasping reverse flick from an impossible angle. A brilliant goal by Gurjant, his second of the tournament, earned him the man of the match award.

Indians kept their aggressive streak but took the halftime break leading only by the solitary goal.

India’s second goal came in the 22nd minute. Simranjeet Singh drove home from top of the circle after being set up by Nilakanta Sharma.
