Graham Reid all smiles as the Indian players walk off the field, and why should he not be. The Australian seemed displeased at the halftime but his wards have made up for it, haven't they?

Pakistan did threaten a bit towards the end, but the Manpreet Singh-led side had it control. Be it Harmanpreet with his goals, Varun Kumar in defence or Shilanand Lakra with that brilliant run that helped Akashdeep score, India had someone or the other step up under pressure.

India consolidated their position at the top of the table with this win. Thank you for joining in, See you next time!
