Jr World Cup Hockey: Rosan Kujur, Dilraj Singh Score Brace Each As India Thrash Chile 7-0
Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu: The Indian junior men's hockey team got off to a rampaging start with a 7-0 win against Chile in their first Pool B match at the FIH Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup 2025, which witnessed a grand opening ceremony on Friday at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium in Egmore, Chennai, on Friday.
Goals for India were scored by Rosan Kujur (16', 21'), Dilraj Singh (25', 34'), Ajeet Yadav (35'), Anmol Ekka (48'), and Rohit (59'). Meanwhile, the Indian goalies Bikramjeet Singh and Prince Deep Singh did exceptionally well to keep a clean slate.
It was a nervy start to the first quarter with the visitors showing a lot of promise and standing tall against a more experienced Indian side. They didn't allow easy chances for India, even though Dilraj Singh, the home team's stylish striker, was making some aspiring forays into the circle. While there was no real breakthrough coming in the first quarter, despite earning a PC in the 15th minute, India started the second quarter on a rollicking note with a quickfire goal in the 16th minute.
