The Indian women's hockey team commenced their 2026 Asian Games campaign with a commanding 19-0 victory over Uzbekistan in their opening Pool B match in Kakamigahara.
Deepika Sehrawat starred with eight goals—including six from penalty corners—setting a new individual scoring record in a women's international field hockey match.
The massive win marks India's third-biggest victory in tournament history, following historical records set in 1982 and during past continental competitions.
