Himachal Pradesh
lifted themselves from their narrow 1-2 defeat to Delhi and posted an
impressive 6-2 win over Rajasthan in a Pool A game in the 4th National
Sub-Junior Men’s ‘B’ Division Hockey Championship being played at Vadodara,
Gujarat.
The highlight of
the match was a stupendous effort by Sahil Kumar, who scored all his team’s six
goals. Sahil kickstarted the decimation job opening the account in the 9th
minute before extending the lead two minutes later.
The Himachal
forward quickly wrapped up his hat-trick in the 25th minute and went
on to add one more to his tally to put his side in the driver’s seat with a 4-0 lead
at half-time.
Sahil's hunger for
goals continued as he scored early in the second half and completed a
fantastic double hat-trick in the final minute of play to cap off a resounding
Himachal win.
