The Blue Colts lost 0-5 to Jordan in their second match of the Mandiri U20 Challenge Series after going down against Syria 1-6 in their opening game last Friday. Indonesia are also coming after losing 0-1 against Jordan in their last match.

The four-nation friendly tournament was expected to be an uphill task for India, who are participating with under 17 and 18 players, while their opponents are using the games to prepare for the AFC U20 Asian Cup.

In their last match, India U-20 Head coach Biby Thomas tweaked the defence and started with a five-man backline in a 5-4-1 formation. However, it suffered an early blow when right-back Yaipharemba Chingakham picked up an injury and had to be replaced by Jodric Abranches, which meant Mukul Panwar had to shift to the right.
