Ipoh (Malaysia): Five-time champions India came from behind to stun Great Britain 3-1 and clinch the bronze medal in the Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament here on Sunday.
India dominated the match, but squandered several scoring opportunities to concede the lead to pre-tournament favourites Great Britian before staging a spirited comeback in the second session.
Shivendra Singh (42nd minute), Sandeep Singh (52nd) and Tushar Khandekar (69th) scored for India after Ashley Jackson (35th) put Great Britain ahead at the stroke of half time.
India had earlier lost 2-3 to Great Britain, world’s fourth ranked side, in their round robin league encounter, but Michael Nobbs’ boys played a composed game.
