Named after Surjit Singh, a member of India’s 1975 World Cup-winning team, the venue holds a special place in the city’s sporting history.The stadium’s legacy is closely linked to the Surjit Hockey Society, established in 1984. Through the Surjit Hockey Academy and the annual Surjit Memorial Hockey Tournament, the organisation has played an important role in promoting the sport and nurturing young talent.Jalandhar's Contribution To HockeyJalandhar’s contribution to hockey extends well beyond the stadium. The surrounding villages have produced several players who have represented India at the highest level. Sansarpur, on the outskirts of the city, is renowned for producing numerous Olympians who represented India and Kenya at different editions of the Olympic Games.Mithapur, another village with a strong hockey tradition, has produced former India captain Pargat Singh and current internationals Manpreet Singh and Mandeep Singh, among other notable players.The Surjit Hockey Academy continues to support this tradition by providing aspiring players with structured training and opportunities to develop their skills. Six members of the Hero Asian Champions Trophy Punjab 2026 squad - Manpreet Singh, Harmanpreet Singh, Mandeep Singh, Krishan Pathak, Dilpreet Singh and Jarmanpreet Singh - are products of the academy.Jalandhar: Goods Manufacturing CentreApart from its contribution to hockey, Jalandhar is one of India’s major sports goods manufacturing centres. The industry began on a small scale in the late 1940s and grew over the following decades, with local manufacturers supplying equipment across the country and exporting products to international markets.The city’s sporting culture and manufacturing industry have together helped strengthen its position in India’s sporting landscape. The upcoming tournament will give local fans an opportunity to watch international hockey while celebrating a tradition that has shaped generations of players.For Jalandhar, hosting the league-stage matches is also an opportunity to bring younger audiences closer to the sport and reinforce the city’s place in Indian hockey. With a history rooted in its villages, academies and sporting institutions, the city remains an important part of Punjab’s hockey heritage.

Jalandhar, the city rich in hockey heritage, will host the league-stage matches of the Asian Champions Trophy Punjab 2026 at the Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium from October 27 to November 2.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday named former left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha as chairman of the men's senior selection committee, with former off-spinner Ramesh Powar joining the five-member panel after Ajit Agarkar’s tenure ended earlier in the month.The decisive factor in Ojha's appointment was not a formal election or interview for the chairmanship itself, but a long-standing BCCI convention: the selector with the most Test caps chairs the committee.The BCCI Rule: Seniority Defined by CapsUnder the BCCI constitution and established convention, the member with the most Test caps automatically serves as the Chairman of the Senior Men’s Selection Committee:  The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) appoints selectors to represent the different zones, but the Chief Selector (Chairman) is not chosen via a separate election or popularity contest. Rather, the person among the five committee members with the highest number of Test appearances for India assumes the role. If no Test cricketer is on the panel, seniority defaults to first-class appearances.The One-Test Difference: Ojha vs DasWhen Ajit Agarkar (26 Tests) completed his term in October 2026, the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee was tasked with filling the West Zone vacancy and determining the panel’s head.  The breakdown of Test caps among the selectors told the entire story:Selector                        Primary Role               Test Caps             First-Class CareerPragyan Ojha           Slow Left-Arm Orthodox           24                108 matches (424 wickets)Shiv Sunder Das      Opening Batter                         23               180 matches (10,901 runs)RP Singh                  Left-Arm Fast-Medium             14                94 matches (301 wickets)Ajay Ratra                Wicketkeeper-Batter                 6                 99 matches (4,029 runs)Ramesh Powar        Off-Spin All-rounder                  21               48 matches (470 wickets)Before Agarkar’s exit, Shiv Sunder Das had previously acted as interim head during prior transition periods. However, once the CAC finalized the reshuffled committee:<ul><li data-list-item-id="eec5a752afbb359e6b083f8444b5964d0">Ojha had played 24 Tests between 2009 and 2013, taking 113 wickets.</li><li data-list-item-id="e8b5fb0ce9766466d39090b1d7fa78850">Das had played 23 Tests between 2000 and 2002 as a specialist opener, scoring 1,326 runs.</li></ul>Because Ojha’s international red-ball tally stood at 24 to Das’s 23, the BCCI’s strict seniority-by-caps mandate tipped the scales. Ojha edged out Das by a solitary Test match to take the chairman's seat.Why New Candidate Didn't Shift BalanceThe CAC had interviewed several prominent names to fill the vacant West Zone spot. Former opener Wasim Jaffer (31 Tests) was among the shortlisted candidates.Had Jaffer been picked, his 31 caps would have instantly made him the most-capped player on the panel, surpassing Ojha (24) and granting him the chairmanship. Instead, the panel selected former India spinner and coach Ramesh Powar (2 Tests).  Because Powar entered with fewer caps than the incumbent senior members, the established hierarchy remained undisturbed, officially cementing Ojha's place as India's chief selector.

Former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha on Monday replaced Ajit Agarkar as chairman of the mens senior selection committee. The decisive factor in Ojhas appointment was not a formal election or interview for the chairmanship itself, but a long-standing BCCI convention.

Manchester City fans have brought back an unusual tradition from the club's past, with inflatable yellow bananas appearing in the stands during recent Premier League matches. The quirky sight has attracted attention after supporters displayed the props during City's away game against Liverpool and their home fixture against Ipswich Town.Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden even carried an inflatable banana during his post-match interview after the club's 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town on October 17.However, the tradition is not new. It dates back to the late 1980s, when City supporters began bringing inflatable bananas to matches as a humorous way of lifting the mood during a difficult period in the club's history.<h2>Why are Manchester City fans bringing Inflatable Bananas?</h2>The inflatable bananas have become a symbol of Manchester City's fan culture, with their origins linked to former striker Imre Varadi.Varadi played for City in the late 1980s and earned the nickname 'Imre Banana' from supporters. The nickname inspired fans to bring inflatable bananas to matches, with the trend gaining popularity during the 1987-88 season, when City were competing in the old Second Division following relegation.The unusual tradition soon became a familiar sight among City supporters. Although it faded over time, inflatable bananas have appeared at matches intermittently over the years. Their recent return has brought renewed attention to a distinctive part of the club's history.<h2>How did the Inflatable Banana tradition begin?</h2>Manchester City's history in the 1980s was very different from the club's modern era of domestic success. The team experienced relegation and promotion during the decade, and supporters often used humour to cope with difficult results.According to reports tracing the tradition, a supporter brought a large inflatable banana to a match at Maine Road during the 1987-88 season. With Varadi already known as 'Imre Banana' among fans, the idea caught on and more supporters began bringing the props to games.The bananas became part of the atmosphere at City matches during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The tradition reflected the humour and creativity of supporters during a challenging chapter in the club's history.<h2>Why have Manchester City fans revived the tradition?</h2>The return of the inflatable bananas comes amid renewed scrutiny of Manchester City following the independent commission's findings over the club's financial conduct.On September 29, 2026, the Premier League announced that an independent commission had found City guilty of charges relating to serious breaches of its financial rules over nine seasons, from 2009-10 to 2017-18. The commission also upheld the majority of charges concerning the club's failure to cooperate with the league's investigation.Manchester City subsequently appealed the commission's decision, with the appeal process subject to the Premier League's stated procedures.Against that backdrop, supporters displayed inflatable bananas during City's 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on October 11. The props returned at the Etihad Stadium for the Ipswich game the following weekend, where the home crowd continued the display.The revival has been seen as a nostalgic gesture and a show of solidarity among supporters during a period of intense scrutiny.<h2>What did Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca say about the Bananas?</h2>Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca welcomed the display ahead of the Ipswich fixture. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Maresca said he had not known the history behind the tradition but hoped to see plenty of bananas in the stands.He described the display as a positive addition to the matchday atmosphere, and supporters duly brought the props to the Etihad Stadium.Foden's post-match appearance with an inflatable banana after the 3-2 win added another memorable moment to the revival, bringing a decades-old fan tradition back into the spotlight.The inflatable bananas may look unusual to fans unfamiliar with Manchester City's past, but their return connects the club's present to a period when supporters relied on humour and togetherness during difficult times.

Manchester City fans have revived the club’s iconic inflatable yellow banana tradition, which dates back to the 1987-88 season and former striker Imre Varadi’s nickname. The quirky display has returned to the stands amid renewed scrutiny of the club’s financial conduct.

The Delhi Capitals - originally founded as the Delhi Daredevils in 2008 - have undergone multiple tactical, structural, and cultural overhauls over their IPL journey. While the franchise has seen some of international cricket's sharpest tactical minds grace its dugout, an elusive maiden IPL championship remains the target.With former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly stepping into the head coaching hot seat for IPL 2027, Delhi Capitals enters a new phase of leadership.Here is the complete list of every head coach of Delhi Capitals in IPL history:1. Greg Shipperd (2008-2011)Australian domestic coaching stalwart Greg Shipperd was appointed as Delhi Daredevils' inaugural head coach in 2008.  The Stint: Shipperd guided Delhi through the tournament's first four editions. The franchise hit the ground running, reaching the semi-finals in back-to-back seasons (2008 and 2009) behind explosive batting lineups featuring Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, and AB de Villiers.  The Exit: A fifth-place finish in 2010 followed by a disastrous bottom-of-the-table finish in 2011 prompted management to change direction.  2. Eric Simons (2012-2013)Former South African pacer and Indian national team bowling coach Eric Simons stepped up from his role as Delhi's bowling coach to become head coach ahead of the 2012 season.  The Stint: In 2012, Simons oversaw one of Delhi’s strongest league campaigns, finishing at the top of the points table before falling short in the playoffs.  The Exit: The momentum evaporated in 2013. Delhi plummeted to the bottom of the standings, losing 13 out of 16 matches and leading to a complete coaching staff overhaul.  3. Gary Kirsten (2014-2015)Fresh off guiding India to the 2011 ICC World Cup title and South Africa to the No. 1 Test ranking, Gary Kirsten signed a three-year contract starting in 2014.  The Stint: Despite his international pedigree, Kirsten struggled to translate tournament success to franchise cricket. Delhi managed only 7 wins out of 28 matches over two campaigns, finishing last in 2014 and second-from-bottom in 2015.  The Exit: In December 2015, the franchise ownership parted ways with Kirsten, cutting his tenure short by a year.  4. Paddy Upton (2016-2017)Paddy Upton took charge in March 2016, operating alongside Rahul Dravid, who served as the team mentor. The Stint: Upton and Dravid focused heavily on youth development, nurturing domestic talents such as Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, and Shreyas Iyer.The Exit: While entertaining, the side lacked consistency in crunch moments, finishing sixth in both the 2016 and 2017 seasons and missing the playoffs each time.5. Ricky Ponting (2018-2024)Ricky Ponting’s appointment in 2018 marked the franchise's longest and most stable coaching era.The Stint: Alongside a rebranding from Daredevils to Capitals, Ponting oversaw a major renaissance. Between 2019 and 2021, DC reached three consecutive playoffs, including their maiden IPL final appearance in 2020 against the Mumbai Indians.  The Exit: After three seasons without playoff qualification - finishing outside the top four from 2022 to 2024 - the seven-year partnership came to an end following the 2024 season.6. Hemang Badani (2025-2026)Former Indian cricketer Hemang Badani took over the reins ahead of the 2025 season under a restructured management framework.  The Stint: Badani oversaw the squad through a transitional cycle, managing a newly assembled core captained by Axar Patel. However, DC fell short of the top four in both seasons, finishing sixth in 2026.  The Exit: DC ownership decided on a complete revamp in late 2026, parting ways with the coaching panel.7. Sourav Ganguly (2027)In October 2026, Delhi Capitals officially named former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly as their head coach.  The Transition: Ganguly has been a central pillar in the Delhi Capitals ecosystem since 2019, previously serving as Team Advisor and Director of Cricket. Having coached the Pretoria Capitals in the SA20, this appointment marks his first formal head coach role in the IPL.  The New Era: Ganguly headlines an overhauled, high-profile coaching unit featuring Yuvraj Singh as batting coach and Sri Lankan great Chaminda Vaas handling the bowling duties.

Delhi Capital (formerly Delhi Daredevils) have had a revolving door of head coaches since the IPL’s inaugural season in 2008. Heres the complete list of head coaches from the start through the appointment of Sourav Ganguly ahead of IPL 2027 season:

The icing on the cake: he will be playing on home soil in Punjab.Pathak has been included in the 18-member India squad, replacing Mohith HS for the October 27 to November 5 tournament to be held in Jalandhar and Mohali.The venue in Jalandhar - Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium - is also home to the Surjit Hockey Academy where Pathak grew up learning the sport."What makes the occasion even bigger for me and others from the Surjit Hockey Academy is that we will be playing at the same ground where we learned the sport for seven years," said Pathak, who last made his India appearance during the tour of South Africa in December 2025."I don’t think there can be anything bigger than that. I would like to thank the Punjab government and Hockey India for giving us this opportunity," he added.Pathak Reflects On His PreparationCarrying an experience of 156 caps, Pathak was the understudy of legendary PR Sreejesh who retired after the Paris 2024 Olympics. He now wants to make all his experience count, having worked on things he needed to improve during his time with India’s development team in Bengaluru.However, he did travel with the team to the FIH World Cup in Netherlands and Belgium as a non-playing member before the Asian Games.  "Whatever the coach told me in terms of improvement, I was working on that while here in Bengaluru with the development team. I believe I have done that and am now focused on this opportunity at the Asian Champions Trophy," said Pathak."We (the development team) played matches against the Karnataka senior national team in Bengaluru. But besides the matches and team training, we did extra goalkeeping sessions so that I keep working on the things that I was told to improve upon," he added.India To Face Bangladesh In Tournament OpenerIndia will begin the tournament against Bangladesh on October 27, followed by matches against China on October 29, Japan on October 30, Malaysia on November 1 and South Korea on November 2.All league-stage matches will be played in Jalandhar from October 27 to November 2, while Mohali will host the semi-finals and the medal matches on November 4 and 5.India enter the tournament as the most successful team with five titles – 2011, 2016, 2018 (joint winners), 2023 and 2024.

Krishan Pathak has spent more than nine months on the sidelines and is now determined to make this opportunity count with an added incentive of representing the country in his home state Punjab for the first time.

Krishan Pathak opens on return to Indian team for Hockey Asian Champions Trophy

The men's Asian Champions Trophy 2026 will return to India for the second time, following Chennai in 2023. This marks a special occasion as international hockey returns to Punjab - a place that has seen the tradition of hockey passed down through generations, incessantly producing international players.For Punjab, hockey is more than a sport. It is a source of immense pride and an integral part of the state’s cultural identity. From its villages and academies to the international arena, Punjab has played a defining role in shaping Indian hockey.As the Men's Asian Champions Trophy Punjab 2026 approaches, the state is preparing to welcome Asia’s finest teams to one of the game’s spiritual homes in India. Besides hosts India, Malaysia, South Korea, China, Japan and Bangladesh will vie for the top honours from October 27 to November 2.For the record, reigning Asian Games champions India enter the tournament as the most successful team, having won the ACT title five times - 2011, 2016, 2018 (joint winners), 2023 and 2024.Punjab's Contribution To Indian HockeyPunjab's contribution to the national team is reflected in generations of players who have represented the country at the highest level - from Udham Singh and Balbir Singh Sr to the current generation of Manpreet Singh and Harmanpreet Singh.Its sporting culture, grassroots structures and enduring passion have helped produce Olympic medallists, World Cup winners and national stalwarts.Celebrating Legacy Of Hockey In PunjabThe upcoming Asian Champions Trophy offers an opportunity to celebrate that legacy while bringing elite competition closer to its traditional supporters. Jalandhar and Mohali will share hosting duties, placing Punjab's rich sporting heritage and infrastructure at the centre of a major continental event."It’s going to be a special occasion for the entire team, especially for the players who belong to Punjab because it’s the first time that we will be wearing India jersey at an international tournament in Punjab," said India captain Harmanpreet Singh."My entire family is expected to be at the stadium watching me play an international match together from the venue for the first time, including my father who has never seen me play for the country while sitting inside the stadium," added Harmanpreet, the first Indian captain to lead the country in two Asian Games gold medal triumphs and that too in consecutive editions.Jalandhar holds a special place in this story. The city has nurtured generations of players, especially from the villages of Sansarpur and Mithapur, and remains closely associated with the sport’s development in India.The Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium at Burlton Park, named after the celebrated defender and 1975 World Cup winner, will host the opening ceremony and league-stage matches from Oct 27 to Nov 2.The tournament will then move to the Olympian Balbir Singh Senior International Hockey Stadium in Mohali for the semi-finals and medal matches on Nov 4 and 5.Playing In Front Of Home Crowd  For the hosts, the tournament presents an opportunity to compete before passionate home supporters, while visiting teams can experience Punjab’s distinctive sporting atmosphere, its hockey legacy and the warmth of its people.  The tournament will see all six teams playing each other once, with the top four teams at the end of the league stage qualifying for the semi-finals.Defending champions India will open their campaign against Bangladesh on October 27 in Jalandhar.

This will be the second time India hosts the mens edition of the Asian Champions Trophy, following Chennai in 2023. The occasion also marks the return of international hockey to Punjab, which has given India many iconic hockey players across generations.

As he prepares to embark on his first formal coaching assignment in the Indian Premier League, former India star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is clear about what he wants to achieve with Delhi Capitals: build a team that believes in itself, competes under pressure and has the conviction to win the championship.Appointed assistant &amp; batting coach ahead of the upcoming IPL 2027 season, Yuvraj returns to the Delhi franchise with a renewed purpose, joining hands with Sourav Ganguly, head coach of Delhi Capitals, with whom he shares a long-standing relationship dating back to the early years of his international career.Yuvraj's Old Association With GangulyRevealing how the opportunity came about, Yuvraj said, "Dada told me, 'Would you be my assistant?' And I was like, ‘I’ve been your assistant for the last 25 years, so I’ll probably be doing the same job!’ I was very happy to do it. I’ve been building myself up over the last three to four years for this opportunity. I have worked with players individually, but being part of the entire team environment will be a different experience, and I’m really excited about it."For Yuvraj, the reunion also presents an opportunity to work alongside Ganguly once again, this time in a coaching setup.Having made his international debut under Ganguly’s captaincy, the former India all-rounder believes the ability to build a strong team environment remains one of his former captain’s greatest strengths."The best thing I learnt from Dada was how to create a good team environment. When he was captain and I made my debut, he kept us together. He made us believe that we could become a great team and win tournaments outside India. He has always been like a big brother to me, whether it was helping me understand selection, mentoring me or showing me what it takes to become a good international cricketer. I’m looking forward to working with him, understanding his insights and sharing mine," Yuvraj said.Yuvraj's Entry Into CoachingA two-time World Cup winner and one of the key architects of India’s triumphs at the 2007 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, Yuvraj brings extensive experience of performing on the biggest stages. As he transitions into coaching, he believes instilling self-belief in players will be central to his approach."At this level, everybody is skilled and brings something different to the table. But I come from a place where self-belief is extremely important. If a franchise has selected you and given you a position in the squad, it means they believe in you. You have to believe that you belong there. That comes through practice, awareness of the game and playing matches. We will work on these things as a team," he said.Yuvraj Expresses Confidence In DC BattingThe 44-year-old Yuvraj also expressed confidence in the batting resources available to Delhi Capitals, highlighting the importance of building the right combination and ensuring the team is equipped to deliver across all departments."KL Rahul is a solid player whom I’ve watched for a long time, and Tristan Stubbs is very exciting. There are also players like Sameer Rizvi and Ashutosh Sharma, who are very good hitters. We have good batting resources, but we need to work on the right team combination and make the side stronger and more versatile, with deeper batting, quality bowling and good fielding. Every aspect of the game matters,” he said.Having experienced the disappointment of not qualifying for the playoffs during his previous stint as a player with the franchise, Yuvraj is determined to help Delhi Capitals approach the upcoming season with a renewed sense of purpose. While qualification remains the immediate objective, he believes the team must set its sights on the ultimate prize."We definitely have the ability, and that’s why Dada and I are coming in - to bring that belief back. Our first target is to qualify, but we are here to win the championship, and I don’t see why we can’t do that. Just because it hasn’t happened in the past doesn’t mean it can’t happen in the future. We want to build a squad and an energy that is ready to fight, take on any opposition and perform in any situation," he said.For Yuvraj, the role goes beyond technical guidance or improving individual performances. It is about preparing the players to handle pressure, trust their abilities and give their best for the franchise, working in tandem with Ganguly and the wider coaching and support staff."I want to help the boys play better cricket, perform under pressure and build a squad that believes in itself. I’m here to put my heart and soul into the franchise. Hopefully, with the contribution of the entire team management and the players, we can take Delhi Capitals forward, qualify for the playoffs and then go on to win the championship," he added.New Chapter For Yuvraj At Delhi CapitalsYuvraj's appointment marks a new chapter in his association with Delhi Capitals. Having represented the franchise, then known as Delhi Daredevils, in the 2015 IPL season, he now returns with the experience of a celebrated international career and the ambition to help shape the team’s next phase alongside Head Coach Sourav Ganguly.One of India’s most accomplished all-rounders, Yuvraj featured in 304 ODIs, 40 Tests and 58 T20Is for India.He played a pivotal role in the country’s 2007 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victories and enjoyed a distinguished IPL career, featuring in 132 matches, scoring 2,750 runs and taking 36 wickets.

The Indian men's hockey team's journey in the Asian Champions Trophy (ACT) has been marked by consistency, resilience and a winning mentality. Since the tournament began in 2011, India has emerged as its most successful team, winning the title five times.From a thrilling shootout victory in the inaugural edition to successfully defending their title in China in 2024, India's triumphs highlight their dominance in Asian hockey and their ability to overcome challenges across different editions of the tournament.Fresh off making history by successfully defending their Asian Games gold medal for the first time, the Indian team will return to action later this month as the ninth edition of the Asian Champions Trophy (ACT) - Punjab 2026 - gets underway in Jalandhar and Mohali from October 27 to November 5.As the tournament approaches, here's a look back at India's remarkable journey through their five ACT title-winning campaigns so far.A Winning Start In 2011The first edition of the Asian Champions Trophy took place in Ordos, China, with six teams competing: China, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, South Korea and Japan.India began their campaign on a winning note, reaching the final to face arch-rivals Pakistan. Facing arch-rivals Pakistan in the final, India held their opponents to a 0-0 draw in regulation time before prevailing 4-2 in the shootout. The hard-fought victory crowned India the tournament’s first champions.A Second Crown In KuantanAfter the 2013 edition, the ACT returned in 2016 following a three-year break, with Kuantan, Malaysia, hosting the tournament. India, Pakistan, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and China were once again the six teams in contention, setting up another closely fought edition of the competition.India faced Pakistan in the final, setting up a closely fought contest between the arch-rivals.

Rupinder Pal Singh, Affan Yousuf and Nikkin Thimmaiah scored the goals that sealed the victory for India.Joint Winners In Muscat In 2018India’s third title came under unusual circumstances at the fifth edition in Muscat, Oman, in 2018. The competition featured India, Japan, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan and South Korea. India and Pakistan progressed to the final, but persistent rain prevented the match from being completed.Consequently, the two teams were declared joint winners. While the result differed from a conventional final victory, India added another title to their record.A Memorable Comeback In Chennai in 2023India hosted the ACT for the first time for the tournament’s seventh edition in 2023 in Chennai and returned to the top of the podium. Playing in front of home supporters at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium, the hosts faced Malaysia in the final.India found themselves trailing but mounted an impressive comeback to secure a 4-3 victory. Malaysia were leading 3-1 at half-time, but goals from Harmanpreet Singh, Gurjant Singh and Akashdeep Singh in the last 16 minutes turned the tables on the Malaysians.The result earned India their fourth title and made them the most successful team in the tournament’s history.Record-Extending Glory In China In 2024India carried that momentum into the eighth edition in Hulunbuir, China. Seeking to defend their crown, India navigated the competition and set up a final against the hosts at the Moqi Hockey Training Base.In a closely contested encounter, Jugraj Singh scored the decisive goal to secure a 1-0 win. The victory gave India their fifth Asian Champions Trophy title and extended their record at the top of the tournament’s honours list.India's Remarkable Consistency At ACTFive titles across eight editions underline India’s remarkable consistency in the Men’s Asian Champions Trophy. Each triumph has carried its own story, whether through a shootout, a narrow final, shared honours or a comeback under pressure.

India mens hockey team will look to add a sixth title when Punjab hosts the 2026 edition of the Asian Champions Trophy from October 27 to November 5 in Jalandhar and Mohali.
