'Sunil Chhetri has scored in every special game for India' - Indian football fans expect full points from Afghanistan clash in Guwahati
Sunil Chhetri will be making his 150th appearance for the Indian football team today.
The Indian football team is gearing up to host Afghanistan in the Matchday 4 of the Round 2 of the FIFA World Cup 2026/AFC Asian Cup 2027 joint qualifiers at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in Guwahati. The game will be of utmost importance for India and their aspirations for making it to the Round 3 of the joint qualifiers for the first time.
However, things have not gone in a way that Blue Tigers hoped before the start of the international break as Igor Stimac’s men were unable to break the deadlock and register the win in their previous outing against the Lions of Khorasan last week. In the return leg, India will be itching to close all the noise from outside and make sure Sunil Chhetri’s landmark 150th cap is celebrated with a win.
Meanwhile, let us look at how the Indian football community is reacting before the big match.
