The prestigious Sultan Azlan Shah Cup which is in its 27th edition began in 1983 and the Indian team which is led by the veteran Sardar Singh this time have won the title four times and shared it with South Korea once.
India though have not begun their on-going campaign in the best of health as they were handed a 3-2 defeat by Argentina in their first game and were held to a 1-1 draw against Great Britain in Ipoh. Interestingly, whenever India have gone into this tournament under the captaincy of Sardar Singh, they have always returned with a medal.
