Last year, India won the title at home, making them the only team to bag four titles in the history of the tournament.

"The Asian Champions Trophy last year gave us the right momentum going into the Asian Games and followed it up with the Olympic Games triumph of standing on the podium yet again. This time too, we want to begin the fresh Olympic cycle by winning this tournament," skipper Harmanpreet Singh had said ahead of their tournament opener.
