A superb second-half performance during which skipper Harmanpreet Singh, Amit Rohidas and Abhishek scored a goal apiece helped India defeat Argentina 3-0 in the men's FIH Hockey Pro League and climb back to the top of the points table.
India had slipped to the second spot after losing a couple of matches in London before coming back strongly to beat Belgium (5-1) and Great Britain 4-2 via a shoot-out. They started the Netherlands run with a 1-4 defeat here on Wednesday.
On Thursday, India held the advantage in the first half and created a few chances but could not score a goal.
Things turned in their favour as after a goalless first half, India earned their first penalty corner of the match in the third quarter with captain Harmanpreet Singh producing a powerful drag into the bottom right corner to finally break the deadlock.
With that, Harmanpreet extended his lead at the top of the scoring chart to nine goals, with 18 in the tournament so far.
