The Indian Hockey Team scripted a comeback for the ages in the final of the Asian Championship Trophy on Saturday, defeating Malaysia 4-3 after trailing 1-3 in the first half. Captain Harmanpreet Singh and company continued their relentlessness, scoring three goals on the trot clinching their fourth Asian Championship title.

BCCI (Board of Cricket Control in India) joined in to congratulate Hockey India for their achievement, posting a congratulatory video on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle. Cricketers Shubman Gill and Arshdeep Singh featured in the video wishing the players. Check the video here:

The young T20I side led by Hardik Pandya is currently in Florida, USA as part of their final two T20Is. In the recently concluded 4th T20I on Saturday, India levelled the series 2-2 after beating West Indies by 9 wickets.

This is India's fourth title in the event as they broke the record of three titles (two outright and one shared) with archrivals Pakistan, becoming the most successful team in the event. India had previously won the title in the inaugural year in 2011 and then in 2016. In 2018, they had shared the title with Pakistan in Muscat, Oman as the match was rained off.

However, on Saturday, the hosts looked in trouble for some time before they fought back to seal a memorable victory, which is a big boost to the team's morale ahead of the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.

On the other hand, Hardik Pandya and company will play the T20I decider in the 5-match series on Sunday.
