Also, trouble struck Team India before they could kickstart their campaign when Mohun Bagan recalled eight of its players from the camp. Injuries to Anwar Ali and Ashique Kuruniyan further weakened the team, and coach Khalid made some late additions by calling up midfielder Macarton Nickson and defender Nikhil Barla.
