The last time the Indian national team conceded five goals in a game was in 2012, a 5-1 defeat in a friendly against Oman. A year before that, was the last time the Blue Tigers had conceded nine goals in back-to-back games - in the 2011 Asian Cup group stage.
However, this Intercontinental Cup, the 4-2 loss to Tajikistan following the 5-2 defeat to DPR Korea on Saturday night might just have provided more answers than questions for Igor Stimac, who completed his fourth game as India head coach.
Since being appointed as India coach, Stimac had made 28 total changes in his four India starting lineups.
