After the men, it's the women's turn to make India proud by lifting the Asian Champions Trophy. The Indian women's hockey team lifted its maiden Asian Champions Trophy title with a thrilling 2-1 win over China in the final, on Saturday. Deepika slotted the rebound from a penalty corner in the 60th minute of the game to give her team a memorable victory. The welcome result for the Indian women's team comes days after men beat Pakistan to reclaim the Asian Champions Trophy in Kuantan, Malaysia.
