Since independence in 1947, nine Indian male footballers have scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in an international football match. The first player to score a hat-trick for India was Sahu Mewalal in a 4-0 victory over Burma in the 1952 Colombo Quadrangular Tournament.[1] Sunil Chhetri is the only Indian footballer to have scored a hat-trick more than once; he has achieved this feat as many as three times, the latest of which came in India's 5-0 victory over Chinese Taipei in the opening match of the 2018 Intercontinental Cup.[2][3][4]This also happens to be the most recent instance of an Indian player scoring a hat-trick in an international football match. No Indian player has ever scored more than three goals in a single match.
India have conceded thirteen hat-tricks since 1947, the most recent being scored by Ashraf Nu'man Al-Fawaghra in a 4–2 defeat by Palestine in an international friendly match in February 2013. Branko Zebec was the first player to score a hat-trick against India, scoring four times for Yugoslavia in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Two other players, Bader Al-Mutawa of Kuwait in an international friendly fixture and Ismail Abdullatif of Bahrain in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, have scored four goals against India. The only instance of India not losing a game even after conceding a hat-trick happened against Yemen in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification match which ended in a 3-3 draw.
