Revision as of 19:30, 20 November 2018

On, 24th September 1938, at Sydney Showground, Indian striker Lumsden scored the first hat-trick for India in a friendly match against Australia even as India lost the match by 4-5.[1][2] Since independence in 1947, nine Indian male footballers have scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in an international football match. No Indian player has ever scored more than three goals in a single game. The first player after independence to score a hat-trick for India was Sheoo Mewalal in a 4-0 victory over Burma in the 1952 Colombo Quadrangular Tournament.[3] 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.[4][5][6] This also happens to be the most recent instance of an Indian player scoring a hat-trick in an international football match.

Arguably, the most famous and sensational hat-trick was scored by Neville D'Souza at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, the first Asian to do so in the history of Olympics football, in a 4-2 victory over Australia.[7][8][9] With 4 goals in 3 matches, he not only finished the tournament as joint top-scorer but also helped India secure fourth place in the championship.[10][11]

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.[12][13] Branko Zebec was the first player to score a hat-trick against India, scoring four times for Yugoslavia in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.[14] 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.[15][16][17] 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.[18]
