The Indian Men's Hockey team has emerged victorious in the Asia Cup 2025, defeating Korea 4-1 in a thrilling final held in Rajgir, Bihar. This win marks India's fourth Asia Cup title and ends an eight-year wait to reclaim supremacy in the continent. Sukhjeet Singh's parents are overjoyed and full of pride after their son's contribution to India's victory in the Asia Cup 2025 final.
Sukhjeet Singh made an impactful start by scoring a goal in the first minute of the match, setting the tone for India's dominance. Captain Harmanpreet Singh provided a fine assist, which Sukhjeet converted with a powerful strike past the Korean goalie. The early goal energized the home crowd and gave India the momentum.
Speaking after India's triumph, Sukhjeet Singh's mother, Kuldeep Kaur, expressed her happiness and showered blessings on her son and the entire team. Sukhjeet's father, Ajit Singh, also shared his joy, acknowledging Harmanpreet Singh's excellent pass that led to Sukhjeet's goal.
Dilpreet Singh further solidified India's lead by scoring twice. Amit Rohidas added another goal, capitalizing on a penalty corner. Korea managed to score only one goal in response.

Sukhjeet Singh's journey to becoming a key player for India is an inspiring story. Inspired by his father, Ajit Singh, he overcame early hockey lessons and even a period of paralysis. His father, who couldn't play at a high level due to lack of support, motivated him to pursue the sport. Sukhjeet's father gave him his first hockey stick and trained him. Sukhjeet debuted in the 2021-22 Pro League and played a vital role in India's bronze medal win at the Paris Olympics.
With this Asia Cup victory, India has qualified for the Hockey World Cup 2026 in Netherlands and Belgium. The team's performance in the Asia Cup 2025 showcases the rise of young talents and the guidance of experienced players, indicating a promising future for Indian hockey.
