Which current Indian football team players also featured at the AFC Asian Cup 2019?

All three goalkeepers who got a call this time were also a part of India’s AFC Asian Cup 2019 squad.

In a testament to their enduring skill and commitment to the game, several key players from the Indian football squad that participated in the AFC Asian Cup 2019 are still integral parts of the national team as they gear up for the upcoming challenges in 2023. One standout name that has consistently represented the Indian tricolor is Sunil Chhetri, the talismanic captain, and all-time leading goal-scorer.

The Blue Tigers begin their AFC Asian Cup 2023 campaign against Australia on 13th January.

Let’s look at other players who are still a part of the 2023 squad for the men in blue.

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu will be the man between the goalposts for team India once again as he continues his good form.

Amrinder Singh

Amrinder Singh has been called up once again for international duties as he was also a member of the 2019 squad that played in the tournament.

Vishal Kaith

Another dynamic goalkeeper Vishal Kaith has been rewarded for his consistent performance for his club Mohun Bagan Super Giant and he will also join the Indian team from the 2019 squad.

Pritam Kotal

The versatile defender Pritam Kotal who has just moved to Kerala Blasters will also represent his nation in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup from the 2019 team.

Sandesh Jhingan

Defensive solidity is a key aspect of any successful team, and Sandesh Jhingan has been the bedrock of the Indian defense. His commanding presence at the back has been instrumental in thwarting opposition attacks, and his leadership qualities have seen him don the captain’s armband in Chhetri’s absence.

Subhasish Bose

Subhasish is a key member of his club Mohun Bagan Super Giant and he has played some consistent football in the past few seasons. He will also be a key member of the Indian squad in 2023. He was a member of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad as well.

Anirudh Thapa

Having showcased his technical brilliance and tenacity during the 2019 campaign, Thapa has continued to impress, becoming a linchpin in the midfield. Hence Igor Stimac has included him once again in the 2023 squad.

Udanta Singh

The prolific winger Udanta Singh has been called up once again for international duties by Igor Stimac. Although his form has not been so good he will be a key player in the 2023 squad from the 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad.

Sunil Chhetri

Chhetri’s leadership on and off the field has been indispensable, inspiring a new generation of footballers. His experience and goal-scoring prowess make him a crucial asset as India looks to make a mark in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
