India rallies to win

ATHENS, AUG. 17. India roared back from a 2-0 deficit to tame South Africa 4-2 in a Pool `B' match on Tuesday.

After being completely outplayed in the first half, the Indians were served well by Dhanraj Pillay, Baljit Singh Dhillon and Dilip Tirkey — all of whom scored a goal apiece — before Gagan Ajit Singh's last minute goal gave the side an emphatic win.
