India vs Japan Live Streaming, Hockey Asia Cup 2025: When & where to watch IND vs JPN on TV & Online? Check head-to-head

Following their fighting 4-3 opening win over China, the Indian team will be looking to continue the winning momentum as they take on Japan in a Pool A clash of the ongoing Hockey Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday in Rajgir. Having won the continental showpiece back in 2017, the Indian men's hockey team are eyeing a 2026 FIH World Cup berth. 

Coming into the tournament as the highest-ranked side in the tournament (7), the Indian team had to toil hard for three points despite a hattrick from captain Harmanpreet Singh. However, the Men in Blue still need to work on their penalty corner conversions, something they could focus on against Japan. 

On the other hand, Japan are coming into this game after a 7-0 hammering of Kazakhstan. Both India and Japan are on equal points in Pool A. However, Japan are placed at the top of the table due to their superior goal difference.
