India Vs Pakistan SAFF Championship: Captain Fantastic
Sunil Chhetri is the definition of a clutch player. He has always scored whenever his team needs him to be. He is the hero that our country so desperately needs in every match. And once again, in a crucial game against Pakistan, he was shining the brightest.
It is shocking to think that he is 38 years old. In the opening game of India Vs Pakistan SAFF Championship 2023, Sunil Chhetri netted an amazing hat-trick to help India defeat Pakistan 4-0. The host never looked out of the game and annihilated their arch-rivals.
The game was filled with tense moments. As Indian team manager Igor Štimac was awarded a red card in the first half for throwing the ball out of Pakistan’s player. This led to a full-blown fight between the players, and the match officials had to step up.

Another Milestone Achieved
With this Hat-trick, Sunil Chhetri has achieved another milestone. He became the fourth player to achieve 90 goals mark in International football. Only Cristiano Ronaldo(123 goals), Ali Daei(109 goals), and Lionel Messi(103 goals) are above him.
If Chettri keeps up this amazing goal-scoring record, he might even beat Ali Daei and grab the third spot for himself among the greats. There is no stopping this man; we hope that remains the case for a very long time, as he is the shining light for Indian football.
