Drag-flicker scored two goals to help India settle for a 2-2 draw against world champions Australia in the first hockey Test of the three-match series, here on Thursday.
Raghunath slammed two goals for the hosts in the 28th and 43rnd minute, while Australia salvaged the draw riding on an early goal by Dylan Wotherspoon (9th) and a late strike strike by Chris Ciriello (58th).
World leaders Australia drew the first blood through a field goal from Wotherspoon in the ninth minute.
Stunned by the early goal from the visitors and that too in front of a packed home crowd, India showed more purpose and pressed hard for the eqauliser.
Their effors bore fruit soon when India were awarded a penalty corner and Raghunath made no mistakes in slamming the ball to the back of the Australian net in the 28th minute to level the scores.
After change of ends, Indians kept up the pressure on their defence, which resulted in another goal from Raghunath through a penalty corner in 43rd minute.
