Korea forced Indian men's Hockey team to a 2-2 draw in their first match of the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4's at Rajgir. It is not a desired result for India, who were strong favourites to win the game. The match started late as heavy rain caused water logging on the pitch. India started well with Hardik Singh scoring a blinder to give them the lead in quarter 1. But Korea came back strongly and scored consecutive goals in the first half itself. India failed to score in the next two quarters and didn't display quality hockey as well. In the final quarter with pressure on, Manpreet Singh converted a chance, helping India level and secure an important point in the Super 4's. India will play Malaysia in their next game.
