From 2011 to 2024 – India’s Journey Through Asian Champions Trophy

India lifted its first Asian Champions Trophy in 2011 by defeating arch‑rival Pakistan 4‑2 in a shoot‑out after a goalless regulation time. Five years later, the side repeated the feat in Kuantan, Malaysia, edging Pakistan 3‑2 in the final. The 2018 edition in Muscat ended in a shared title after rain halted the final, giving both India and Pakistan joint champion status. In 2023, India staged a dramatic comeback in Chennai, overturning a 1‑3 halftime deficit to beat Malaysia 4‑3. The following year, a 1‑0 win over hosts China in Hulunbuir added a sixth trophy to the collection, setting the stage for a seventh attempt in 2026.
