India battered Malaysia 5-0 in the ongoing Asian Champions Trophy and jumped to the first position in the points table in Chennai, India, on Sunday.

The home side comfortably defeated the unbeaten Malaysian side and gave their fans a victory to celebrate after their last game against Japan ended in a 1-1 draw.

The Blues dominated the game and took a lead in the first quarter with Karthi Selvam scoring the first for the home side.

India’s dominance over the Malaysians continued and just after the start of the second half, the hosts doubled their lead with Hardik Singh scoring on a rebound.

India’s third goal was scored by no one other than their skipper Harmanpreet Singh, who scored his 150th hockey goal for the Blues.

Gurjant Singh and Jugraj Singh scored the fourth and fifth goal, respectively, for the hosts and helped their side end the game in a remarkable way.
