At Asia Cup Hockey Tournament 2013, Ipoh, Malaysia

Pool B
India bt Bangladesh 9-1 (5-1)
Goal Scorers - Rupinder Pal Singh (IND) PC 4', PC, 19', PS 27' and PC 62', Nikkin Thimmaiah (IND) 25', VR Raghunath (IND) PC 29', PC 52' and PC 59', Mandeep Singh (IND) 47' and Mohammad Mamunur Rahman Chayan (BAN) PC 35'

Expected victory scored by Indians over Bangladesh but I was disappointed by our players defending ... We gave unnecessary penalty corner in dying moments of the first half due to poor tackling inside 25 yards line and Bangladesh captain scored from that one penalty corner ... Though we scored many goals through penalty corners still our defending wasn't satisfactory ... We need to avoid dangerous tackling and play more passing game then long hitting.

So with this we topped the pool and playing host Malaysia in the second semi-final ... In the first semi-final Pakistan is facing Korea.
