India was the men’s junior hockey World champions. They rode on a fine hat-trick by Sydney Olympian Deepak Thakur to convincingly beat Argentina 6-1 in the final and claim the title in the seventh edition of the tournament in Hobart, Australia. Following the 2-2 draw, when the India and Argentina met in their first match of the second round, much was expected in the final. However, once the Indians established a 3-1 lead by the 44th minute, the result for a foregone conclusion. Germany won the bronze medal after trouncing England 5-1 in an earlier match.
