India's defeats in the last two decades to Netherlands could well be attributed to the fact that these two teams hardly meet outside major tournaments. For instance, India did not meet Netherland five years in the last ten years! In 2008, 2007, 2001, 2000, and 1999 were barren years for both the teams

Others

However, in the last ten encounters, India had not won even a single match. In particular their encounter at Monchengladbach in the last world cup turned out to be one of the worst defeats for India. With a flurry of goals from dangerman Taekae Taekema, India lost 1-6.
