The Indian men's hockey team displayed a clinical performance on Tuesday as they outclassed lower-ranked Poland 3-0 in their second group match of the Hockey World League Semifinals in Antwerp.

Yuvraj Walmiki put India ahead in the 23rd minute before captain Sardar Singh doubled the lead in the second quarter.

Devinder Walmiki netted the third goal shortly before the final whistle.

With the win, India lead the Pool A table with six points and will next take on arch-rivals Pakistan on Friday.

The Indian Men's have already booked their berth for next year's Rio Olympics.
