At Men's Hockey World League - Finals 2015, Raipur, India

Quarter Final
India bt Great Britain 2-1 (1-0)
Goal Scorers - Raghunath Vokkaliga (IND) 19' PC, Talwinder Singh (IND) 39' and Simon Mantell (GBR) 52' PC

I am still not believing that we pull off victory against Great Britain ... These days we regularly loses against them but here we really give disciplined performance in defense ... In this match we saved all penalty corners and scored from only one from Raghunath ... We kept that lead at half-time ... In the third quarter we scored field goal through Talwinder ... In the fourth quarter Mantell reduced lead through penalty corner but we defended well in last 8 minutes for important win though we were lucky that they failed to score from penalty corners ... We need to work on avoiding panic defending which is giving many penalty corner opportunities to our opponents ... In the semis we r facing Belgium, against them also we regularly struggle these days.
