Karachi: Penalty corner specialist Sandeep Singh scored seven goals, including the tournament’s first double hattrick, to help reigning world junior champions India crush Sri Lanka 17-1 in the junior Asia Cup on Thursday.

The 19-year-old Sandeep, younger brother of Jugraj Singh, scored almost at will as India secured their second big win in group B after blanking China 10-0.

South Korea registered a 5-0 win over Singapore.
