Indian men's hockey team hammered a lowly Indonesia 17-0 to open its title defence in a rousing fashion at the Asian Games, here today. As many as three Indian players scored a hat-trick each as India toyed with the Indonesians in the lop-sided Pool A encounter. Dilpreet Singh (6th, 29th, 32nd min), Simranjeet Singh (13th, 38th, 53rd) and Mandeep Singh (29th, 44th, 49th) scored a hat-trick each for India, while Rupinder Pal Singh (1st, 2nd), Akashdeep Singh (10th, 44th), S V Sunil (25th), Vivek Sagar (26th), Harmanpreet Singh (31st) and Amit Rohidas (54th) were the other scorers.

Sun scorches rivals to win historic Asian swim title
Chinese battering ram Sun Yang smashed his rivals to create history today as the swimming goliath scooped the first-ever Asian Games men's 800 metres freestyle gold with another monstrous performance. For once though he didn't have it all his own way. Greeted like a rock star by high-pitched squeals from excitable female fans in Jakarta, the three-time Olympic champion returned to the pool expecting to anchor China to victory in the 4x200m free -- only for the pesky Japanese to tear up the script. Meanwhile, Japan's Olympic hope Rikako Ikee picked up her second and third Asian titles in the women's 50m butterfly and 100m freestyle. But it was the talismanic Sun who sprinkled stardust on proceedings as ever, storming to victory in the 800m free in a Games record of seven minutes, 48.36 seconds -- almost five seconds clear of Japan's Shogo Takeda. He also came agonisingly close to completing a relay fightback. But Japan's Katsuhiro Matsumoto clung on to seal a fingertip upset in 7:05.17
