    Men's HIL: Kalinga Lancers Beat Ranchi Royals 2-1, Book Spot In The Final

    Vedanta Kalinga Lancers: Alexander Hendrickx bagged a brace of goals as Vedanta Kalinga Lancers booked their spot in the final of the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL) 2026, securing a 2-1 win against Ranchi Royals at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Friday.

    Hendrickx bagged a brace of goals to give his side a 2-0 lead before Mandeep Singh pulled one back for the Royals. But in the end, they failed to find the equaliser and went down fighting.

    Ranchi Royals began the game on the front foot, keeping possession and moving the ball around neatly to make inroads. Having sustained the early pressure by staying steady at the back, Vedanta Kalinga Lancers grew into the game and eventually broke the deadlock after Alexander Hendrickx (12’) converted his dragflick from a penalty corner, giving his side a 1-0 lead in the first quarter.
