Women’s Hockey: Rani Rampal scores on comeback as India thrash SA 5-1
Cape Town: Rani Rampal made an impressive comeback to the national side with a goal to her name as India crushed South Africa 5-1 in the first Test of the four-match series here.
Returning to the side for the first time since playing against Belgium in the FIH Women’s Hockey Pro League 2021-22 last June, former captain Rani opened India’s scoring in the 12th minute on Monday night before Monika (20th), Navneet Kaur (24th), Gurjit Kaur (25th) and Sangita Kumari (30th) found the back of net four times in the second quarter to hand India a commanding 5-0 lead at half-time.
South Africa’s lone goal was scored by captain Quanita Bobbs in the 44th minute.
