Asian Games: Sehrawat’s record night caps another India goalfest vs Thailand

Deepika Sehrawat shattered her personal tournament scoring benchmark by netting nine times exclusively through penalty corners during a resounding 20-1 victory over Thailand at the Asian Games. Navneet Kaur contributed four goals across all four quarters, while Rutuja Pisal notched a hat-trick alongside additional scoring contributions from Lalremsiami, Sakshi Rana, Salima Tete, and Neha Goyal.

The match was played at the Gifu Prefectorial Green Stadium, where the squad pursued their broader goal of securing the country's first gold medal in the women's hockey tournament since its introduction in 1982 to earn a quota for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
