India’s Asian Cup exhibitions throughout the long term –
The primary appearance of India in this opposition was back in 1964 and it remains their best trip till date. India lost only one game in the opposition against Israel and wrapped sprinters up in the four-group contest. While the competition was damaged by debates, India got back with a decent outcome.
India needed to sit tight 20 years for their next appearance and in 1984, they were put in the gathering with Singapore, China, Iran and UAE. The mission began well with a goalless draw against Iran yet that ended up being their main point as India wound up losing all of their excess matches.
In 2011, India lost all of their matches, including the one against Australia, and completed without a point.
The 2019 version saw a decent show from India as they beat Thailand and notwithstanding losing to UAE, Chhetri and co went into the coordinate against Bahrain with an opportunity to make the knockout stages. Be that as it may, a late objective for Bahrain ended up being the decider as India wound up missing the compartment by the smallest of edges.
