India ended up as runners up in the inaugral 1964 edition, just behind Israel with a stellar win against HongKong

[{"selector":"#anim-5da8ef0b-b5a5-48b9-af6a-68ff3107225b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e8bf2e97-0317-4753-a181-012eefa09835","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.53846%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

20 years later in 1984, the Blue Tigers had a rather disappointing campaign securing only one point in the group stage

[{"selector":"#anim-144010fd-c144-4f01-a7af-fce42ef9fe23","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d53460a-eb84-4b4d-ae3c-cc9ec0651940","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.15385%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

India had to wait for 74 years for another appearance in the final round of Asian cup. However after 3 losses India crashed out without a point

[{"selector":"#anim-9292575b-1433-4080-958d-71d8a0ed9776","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b65248b2-b11b-45b7-b970-8e238a89d9ea","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.298%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Ending a 55 year drought India won their first game at 2019 edition against Thailand. However the Blue Tigers still crashed out in the group stage

[{"selector":"#anim-0cc4973d-df7b-45be-be28-5c66c3cb366c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b6fdb01-e348-42d6-8a8d-c7bb2a9d3d2c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.86517%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Relive this goal by Sunil Chhetri in the 2011 edition in India's 4-1 win against Thailand

After back to back group exits the Blue Togers will look to change their fortunes in the AFC Asian Cup
