Junior Hockey World Cup 2025: Sreejesh Demands More From India Despite Win over Belgium in Quarters

India defeated Belgium 4-3 in a shootout, with goalkeeper Prince Deep Singh making key saves and Sharda Nand Tiwari scoring three penalty strokes to reach the semifinals.

  • On Friday, India won a 4-3 shootout over Belgium at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium, with goalkeeper Prince Deep Singh making two decisive saves.
  • After an early Belgian goal by Gaspard Cornez-Massant, India responded with penalty-corner goals from captain Rohit and Sharda Nand Tiwari, but Nathan Rogge’s late strike forced a shootout.
  • During the quarter, Belgium earned four successive penalty corners before the hooter, all repelled by Bikramjit Singh in defence; in the shootout, Sharda faced three strokes, saving one after a review.
  • The result sends India into the semifinals on Sunday against reigning champions Germany, boosting team morale after earlier struggles and earning Prince Deep Singh Player of the Match honours.
  • Inspired by PR Sreejesh, Prince Deep Singh made crucial saves, while Sreejesh advised players to enjoy pressure but promised 'stern words' tomorrow; Belgium's late substitution for an outfield player risked the knockout outcome.
