The Indian men's hockey team decimated lowly Ghana 11-0 in its opening Pool B match of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Sunday. As expected, the Indians were relentless in their attacks and completely controlled the proceedings from start to finish.

It was the first international match for the Indian men’s hockey team since their Pro League tie against the Netherlands on June 19, and the Graham Reid-coached side did not show any semblance of rustiness as they rode roughshod over Ghana 11-0 to make a statement of some magnitude.
