This is enough to recognize Sunil Chhetri, the hero who leads from the front when he enters the field with the ambition of winning, the savior who scores goals at critical moments, the ‘fantastic footballer’ who can attract the crowd to the stadium just by his presence.
Chhetri (92) continues to lead Indian football forward as he ranks third among active footballers behind Portuguese star Cristiano (123 goals) and Argentinian Messi (103) in international goalscoring. After winning the Intercontinental Cup held in Odisha this year, India has now won the SAF Football title in Bengaluru under the 38-year-old Chhetri.
India’s fading image was restored by Chhetri in the 2021 SAFF Cup. Chhetri, who was the captain, started the scoring when India won the 8th title by defeating Nepal 3-0 that day. It was also India’s first title under coach Igor Stimach.
There is no one in Indian football who can read the direction and course of the ball as well as Chhetri. Chhetri overcomes his shortcomings with his positioning on the field. When the ball comes into the box, the Indian skipper will be in the right position to finish.
Chhetri’s goalscoring team led the team forward in the Nehru Cup, Intercontinental Cup and SAFF Cup. If you score 8 more goals, you can reach that extraordinary achievement. Chhetri has scored 8 goals in Indian jersey so far in 2023. Sunil Chhetri has scored 244 goals in 484 matches for clubs and country. 152 goals from 343 matches at club level. 92 goals in 141 matches for the country.
