India played out a 1-1 draw against Malaysia in a friendly match at the Gachibowli Stadium, leaving fans disappointed. India conceded an early goal due to a major error by goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu in the 19th minute. However, Rahul Bheke’s goal before halftime secured the draw. While avoiding defeat, the team’s performance has drawn significant criticism and frustration from fans.
A Year Without Win: Frustration and Disappointment
India’s winless streak, now stretching over a year, has disheartened supporters. Social media was abuzz with disappointment over the team’s inability to secure a win, with fans expressing anger at the lack of progress, especially against a rebuilding Malaysian side.
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu Under Fire
The brunt of criticism fell on Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. His mistake in the 19th minute, seen as uncharacteristic for a player of his experience, led many to question his decision-making under pressure. Some critics have suggested that it might be time to consider other goalkeepers for the national team.
Promising Debuts
Despite the criticism, a positive takeaway was the introduction of four debutants in the match. Their inclusion offered a glimmer of hope for the future, with many fans appreciating the opportunity given to young players.
