Ending a two-decade wait, a resilient Indian women's hockey team stormed into the final of the 18th Asian Games after edging past World Number 11 China 1-0 in the semi-final at the Gelora Bung Karno field on Wednesday.
Through Gurjit Kaur's solitary goal in the 52nd minute, India ensured themselves of at least a silver when they face Japan in the final on Friday.
Twitter reacted to the news with best wishes for the team, congratulatory messages and a lot of hope for winning the finals.
