In the last two editions of Khelo India Youth Games the Punjab Boys were just able to bag the Silver and Bronze medals. They aimed for the Gold medal but were unable to clinch it.
In the fourth edition of Khelo India Youth Games at Panchkula Punjab rose like the proverbial phoenix to clinch the much-awaited Boy's hockey title in the Khelo India Youth Games on Friday.
Arshdeep Singh Junior scored his best six goals against Uttar Pradesh and helped the Punjab Boys team to win the title.
“I had lost my father nine months ago and I will dedicate this gold medal to my father. When I started playing hockey at Bathinda, my father used to take me to the hockey ground every day. He was my first and idle coach. To score six goals here and to help Punjab win the title is a special feeling,” Arshdeep Junior said.
