Indo-Pak hockey match always a thriller,
Ultimate winner has instinct of killer
Match started with successive penalty corners,
India unlucky not to lead the champ former
Both teams missed chances they got,
WorldHockey leaders they were, forgot
In fundamentals, Europeans are best,
In this tournament, Asians under test
Pakistan came up with two beautiful goals,
India was looking for some serious fouls
Gem of a goal by opportunist Tushar,
Turning point of the match, desire of altar
Penalty corner awarded in favour of India,
Mighty Sandeep had a very clear idea
Scored the second goal with a stiff grounder,
Another PC and this proved India victor
Audience roared, everyone celebrated,
Thunderous applause and stadium erupted
Indian always cherish this great moment so much,
Beating Pakistan is always a difficult crunch.
This was the poem written by Indian hockey poet Prem Shanker Shukla on account of India's victory over arch rivals Pakistan at the Champions Trophy 2005, Chennai.
