Chennai, Nov 29 (NationPress) The Indian Junior Men's Hockey Team showcased their remarkable talent in the FIH Hockey Men's Junior World Cup 2025 held in Tamil Nadu, achieving a stunning 17-0 victory against Oman in their pool B match.

Previously, India had triumphed over Chile with a score of 7-0, and today, their offensive strategy was evident as Manmeet Singh (17', 26', 36'), Arshdeep Singh (4', 33', 40'), and Dilraj Singh (29', 32', 58') each netted a hat-trick.
