India started strong in this FIFA international friendly season as they drew against Panama, giving hope that they can fight and compete against the world's best.
However, that hope soon faded away after Brazil drubbed India 4-0. India were strong and put up a fight, but were nowhere near the standards of Brazil.
Now, as they step onto the field against Uruguay, India will want to finally register a win.
