Following the overwhelming 2-0 loss to Australia, the Indian Football Team found themselves on the back foot and under immense pressure as they hope to keep up their chances of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 knockouts alive. However, blowing off steam as they prepare to take on Uzbekistan, Sunil Chhetri engaged in a fun game of ‘wrong answers’ only.
On being asked his name. Sunil Chhetri hilariously replied ‘Lionel Messi’. He went on to give out some humourous answers saying he was 21 years old while the strikers as best defenders.
Watch all of his answers here:
At 39 years old, Sunil Chhetri stands as one of the oldest players in the tournament. Nevertheless, his energy remains unparalleled for an age when many footballers have already retired, basking in the well-deserved accolades of their lengthy and illustrious careers.
Chhetri defies this norm, ready to take the field in Qatar, gracefully leading the Indian national football team into the fray, a role he has performed with distinction for numerous years.
Chhetri not only boasts considerable experience in the tournament but also ranks among the most prolific goalscorers on display. Trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the list of active international footballers, the Indian skipper is approaching a century of goals.
Once again, he is poised to be the guiding force for a distinctly different Indian team compared to the one he nearly steered to a knockout berth in 2019.
