Indian players were working patiently but meanwhile Pakistan got a penalty corner. Then what was it, even before this penalty, Pakistani players started showing their absurdity. The Indian players had come around the goal post to stop the penalty, but the players of Pakistani hockey team, known for habitual misbehavior, started abusing the Indian players.
During this, India could not tolerate Gurbaj Singh and went to fight with the Pakistanis. Pakistani players Syed Imran Shah and Shafqat Rasool thoughtlessly attacked Gurbaz, in which his head was torn. In a hurry, Gurbaj was taken to the hospital.
