India captain Harmanpreet Singh gave full credit to his team for bouncing back from a two-goal deficit and beating Malaysia in the final of the Asian Champions Trophy at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium on Saturday.
India opened the scoring through a Jugraj Singh (9th min) penalty corner conversion before Malaysia scored thrice to stun the near-10,000 crowd that was screaming their lungs out initially. Abu Kamal Azrai (14th), Razie Rahim (18th) and Aminudin Muhamad (28th) put the visitors 3-1 up before India scored twice in the 45th minute, first through a Harmanpreet penalty stroke and then through a Gurjant Singh field goal. Akashdeep Singh finally netted the winner in the 56th minute. However, the fact that India were down until the 44th minute of the 60-minute encounter was not a worry for Harmanpreet.
