One more into the fray, into the last good fight – Sunil Chhetri is set to don the National Team colours, one last time. Keeping aside the fact that it is Chhetri’s last game, the game itself is of paramount importance. A win can do wonders. It will almost guarantee India’s spot in the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
In the previous leg, India pulled off a massive win by defeating their opponents at their own den. The same is likely to be expected in India, when both the sides lock horns at the Yuba Bharati Stadium in Kolkata.
Last Dance for Sunil Chhetri
After 19 glorious years, India Football Team skipper Sunil Chhetri is finally bidding goodbye to his International career. The prolific striker with 150 Caps and 94 goals to his name will step into the field for one final time on 6th June. He is expected to play a pivotal role as India seek a massive win against Kuwait.
Chhetri made his debut back in 2005 where he scored on his first game against Pakistan. And now nearly, 2 decades apart, he has the glorious chance of scoring again in front of 62000 fans to send his country to the 3rd Round of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, something which India has never achieved before.
India is likely to field a strong Playing XI. But the Indian team will be missing the services of Vikram Pratap Singh who has been suspended from the game.
India Predicted XI
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu; Nikhil Poojary, Anwar Ali, Rahul Bheke, Subhasish Bose; Anirudh Thapa, Jeakson Singh; Manvir Singh, Brandon Fernandes, Lallianzuala Chhangte; Sunil Chhetri
