India ran riot, beating Indonesia 13-1 in Pool A opener, with Dilpreet Singh scoring four.
Dilpreet's four came 18th, 19th, 32nd, and 49th minutes. Shilanand Lakra and Sukhjeet Singh each added two, while Abhishek, Rajinder, Mandeep, Harmanpreet, and Jugraj found the net as well.
After a 6‑minute blitz, Lakra's quick rebound from Harmanpreet's drag flick opened the floodgates. Abhishek doubled the lead in the 12th. Dilpreet then struck a hat‑trick before the half, giving India a 7‑0 advantage at the break.
The crowd roared as India's midfield and forwards pressed relentlessly. Indonesia's lone goal, a penalty corner by Aulia Al Ardh in the 33rd, was a brief consolation before India stormed back to 10‑1.
With this dominant win, India locks into the top spot in Pool A and will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Dilpreet's performance cements his reputation as a decisive match‑winner.
