Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Chennai.

The 2023 Men's Asian Champions Trophy, officially known as the Hero Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023, was held in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, from August 3 to 12, 2023. This marked the first time Chennai hosted this prestigious tournament. The matches were played at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium. The tournament featured six top Asian teams: India, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, Pakistan, and China. India clinched the title by defeating Malaysia 4–3 in a thrilling final. This event also served as a preparation for the Asian Games in Hangzhou later that year.

  • Delhi – The national capital, known for hosting various international sports events, but not the 2023 Asian Champions Trophy.

  • Surat – A city in Gujarat, primarily recognized for its diamond and textile industries, not for hosting the 2023 Asian Champions Trophy.

  • Ahmedabad – A major city in Gujarat, known for its vibrant culture and history, but not the venue for the 2023 Asian Champions Trophy.​
