India went 3-1 down and then came back to level 3-3, all in the second quarter. Rupinder Pal Singh converted a penalty stroke which gave India the lead and completed their comeback after which Simranjeet scored their fifth.

A barrage of congratulatory messages followed.

This historic victory will start a new era in hockey and will inspire the youth to take up and excel in the sport,” President Ram Nath Kovind said on Twitter.
