World Cup triumph
Indian colts defeated Belgium 2-1 in the Lucknow final. India, as expected,
dominated the game and by the half-time hooter, the score-line read 2-0 in hosts'
favour.
The visitors scored a consolation goal in the dying minutes before the young Indian team, in unison with the packed crowd, start their celebration at the Major Dyan Chand Astroturf stadium.
India thus became the only other nation than Germany to have won the title more than once. India last won the title way back in 2001, 15 years ago.
