India crashes out of Azlan Shah hockey title race<br/>

India have crashed out of Azlan Shah hockey title race . Five times champions India&apos;s title hope was dashed to the ground after they suffered a 2-3 defeat against Argentina in a crucial match of the Azlan Shah Cup Hockey tournament in Ipoh, Malaysia on Wednesday.With this win, Argentina now have 9 points from five games while India remains at 6 from as many games.India suffered from their inability to capitalise on opening and also feeble defence to allow Argentina to call the shots. Two field goals soon after half-time gave Argentina the advantage and then conversion of a penalty corner ensured victory for the Pan American champions.The Indians fought hard and reduced the margin twice, but an equaliser eluded them in spite of repeated attacks into the rival&apos;s citadel. India will play its last league match tomorrow when they take on Pakistan.
