The young Indian hockey team that won the silver medal at the recent Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, returned on Monday night. And for once, it was bouquets and not brickbats.

In fact, there's more joy in store for them. There is a grand felicitation in store, with the Indian Olympic Association deciding to celebrate the early returns on its hockey investment.

"We weren't under any pressure or worried about failure. The boys knew that a medal would mean unexpected success. I would say it was a bonus for us," said coach AK Bansal.
