Sunil Chhetri, Sandesh Jhingan start in India’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers Round 2 game against Kuwait. Igor Stimac named a strong XI for Indian Football Team keeping in mind the physicality of the game. India vs Kuwait Live Streaming will be on Sony LIV while FIFA WC Qualifiers Live will be on Sony Ten 2.
Igor Stimac had to make a hoard of changes to the usual lineup up with Ashique Kuruniya, Anwar Ali and Jeakson Singh rule out for long time now. Stimac deployed a strong back four of Sandhesh Jhingan, Rahul Bheke, Akash Misha and Nikhil Poojary.
Apuia Ralte has been brought to link up with Anirudh Thapa. To bring in some physicality and sturdiness in the midfield Igor Stimac has gone with Naorem Singh Mahesh, Sahal Abdul Samad. While India captain Sunil Chhetri is set to lead the attack as Gurpreet Singh Sandhu returns under the sticks.
Recent setbacks have harmed India’s excellent performance in 2023. Stimac’s squad, on the other side, has won seven of its fourteen games this season. As a result of their efforts, they’ve won three trophies.
The Blue Tigers have gone winless in their previous five games, despite winning the penalty shootout in two of the three draws. India was unlucky to lose their previous encounter with Malaysia. Their form guide, however, does not reflect the type of football they have played this season. As a result, they are capable of causing problems in Kuwait.

India XI:
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Rahul Bheke, Sandesh, Akash Mishra, Manvir Singh, Suresh Singh Wangjam, Lalengmawia, Sunil Chhetri (C), Sahal Abdul Samad, Mahesh Singh Naorem
