    KIWG 2025: Telangana Lead Medal Tally; ITBP Tame Army In Ice-hockey

    The Khelo India Winter Games: Pranav Madav Surapaneni won Telangana’s second gold medal of the Khelo India Winter Games 2025, winning the ice-skating competition but all attention on Saturday was on the blockbuster ice-hockey league match between Indian Army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

    With about 10 minutes left on the clock, Stanzin Mingure scored twice in succession to script a dramatic 3-1 victory for ITBP. Army’s defence collapsed in the third and final period of the contest, one of the greatest rivalries in Indian sports.

    All roads on Saturday led to the 5000-capacity NDS sports complex for the Army versus ITBP ice-hockey match. Like always, the stands were full of Armymen, dressed in their olive green attire, backing their team in big numbers. But it was Mohammed Ismail who drew first blood for ITBP in the second minute of a match that often got a bit physical. Tsewang Dorjey drew level for the Army with a lovely flick in at the far post early in the second period, but the Indian Army, the defending champions, lost control in the third period and suffered their first loss of the Khelo India Winter Games 2025.
