India End 15-Year Wait, Defeat Belgium For 2nd Junior Hockey World Cup Title

India defeated Belgium 2-1 in the final of Junior Hockey World Cup 2016 to win the title for second time. India had earlier won the title in 2001.

Indian hockey is slowly but steadily looking forward to a brighter future. The junior national team asserted the fact once again as it defeated Belgium 2-1 in the Junior Hockey World Cup Final in Lucknow on Sunday.

Gurjant Singh (8th minute) and Simranjeet Singh (22nd minute) were the scorers for India against their European rivals. After Germany, India are only the second team to win the Junior Hockey World Cup more than once.
