In the Super 4 round of the Asia Cup Hockey 2022, India was joined by Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea.

India and Pakistan tied for fourth place in Pool A, four points behind Japan, although the hosts qualified for the Super 4s due to a greater goal differential. In other words, In Pool A, India and Pakistan tied for fourth place, four points behind Japan, although the hosts qualified for the Super 4s due to a higher goal differential.

Uttam Singh and Nilam Sanjeep Xess each scored a goal, while veteran SV Sunil, Pawan Rajbhar, and Karthi Selvam each scored a brace
