India steamroll Bangladesh amid Abhishek injury worry

The most important moment of the match came with just 16 seconds left on the clock in the first quarter. A lobbed pass came in from the deep towards Abhishek, stationed inside the opposition shooting circle. There was a faint move to try and trap the ball, but the Indian striker abandoned the attempt. There was a more serious matter to address. In his haste to get into position, Abhishek appeared to twist his ankle and sank to the surface of the Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium on Monday. This looked to be a serious blow to the team as they took on Bangladesh in their final Pool A match of the men’s hockey tournament at the Asian Games. The result of the match did not quite matter, India were already through to the semi-finals as table toppers.
