Skipper Harmanpreet's penalty-corner strike turned the game while Abhishek scored twice in his 150th international appearance and Vishnu Kant added a superb solo goal as the Indian men's hockey team registered a 4-1 win over Japan in the Asian Champions Trophy at the Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium in Jalandhar on Friday.
