Among one of the most exciting contests between the arch-rivals, this match saw India snatch a victory out of the jaws of defeat. At half-time, no one gave India a chance as they trailed 3-0. But then things changed, and too soon for Pakistan to handle.
Rajinder Singh Senior helped India equalise with a hat-trick of penalty corners.The two teams found themselves locked at 4-4 just minutes before the hooter. But just when it looked India will manage a draw, Zafar Iqbal scored to pull off an improbable victory.
Pakistan avenged this defeat with a 7-1 humbling of India in the Asian Games held in November-December the same year, but that’s another story.
