India has won the Nehru Cup international football tournament twice. The first win came in 2007 and the second in 2009, both under coach Bob Houghton with Bhaichung Bhutia as captain. The tournament was named after India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

Bhaichung Bhutia was awarded the Man of the Tournament in Nehru Cup 2009 for his outstanding performance as India's captain and striker. He scored crucial goals and led India to their second consecutive Nehru Cup title. Subrata Paul was the goalkeeper, Mahesh Gawli a defender, and Steven Dias a midfielder.

The statement is false because Bhaichung Bhutia did not captain India for a consecutive three-year period. While he was captain during key tournaments like the Nehru Cup (2007, 2009) and AFC Challenge Cup (2008), the national team captaincy changed multiple times during his career. He served as captain intermittently rather than for a continuous three-year span.

The Nehru Cup 2008 featured five teams: India (hosts), Syria, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, and Mayanmar (Myanmar). Bangladesh did not participate in the 2008 edition. India won the tournament, Syria were runners-up, and Kazakhstan placed third. This was the first edition after the tournament's revival.

Brazil has never appeared in the Nehru Cup tournament. The Nehru Cup primarily featured Asian, African, and occasionally European national teams.

Both Gautam Gambhir (India) and Matthew Hayden (Australia) were among the early T20 World Cup performers who scored multiple half-centuries. Note: T20 World Cup records change with each tournament, so current statistics should be verified.
