Sushil Kishku scored a brace as the Indian under-19 football team blanked Pakistan 5-0 in their Group B qualifying match for the AFC Championship in Tehran.
Kishku opened the scoring with a fifth minute strike before Sathyan Sabeeth and K Thoi Singh added two more in the 15th and 19th minute to give India a 3-0 lead at half time.
After the break, Kishku scored his second goal in the 82nd minute before Malsawamdawgliana completed the rout with an 88th minute strike at the Paas Stadium in the Iranian capital last night.
India will now take on Oman on Wednesday, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said in a release.
