India's Junior Men's Hockey Team won the silver medal at the Sultan of Johor Cup 2025 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. In the final, India lost 2-1 to Australia. The match was closely contested, and India conceded a goal in the 59th minute, which shifted the result in Australia's favour near the end. The result matters because the Sultan of Johor Cup is linked to junior men's field hockey, and the 2025 silver medal was India's 5th silver medal at this tournament.

India's group-stage performance was strong. The team defeated Great Britain 3-2, New Zealand 4-2 and Malaysia 2-1, and drew 3-3 with Pakistan. These results show that the team handled different competitive situations: wins, a draw and a narrow final. The side was coached by PR Sreejesh, the former Indian goalkeeper.
