Focus on attackers as India face Kuwait in SAFF C’ship final

[ad_1]

On the rare occasion Sunil Chhetri did not score, India, too, drew a blank. It isn’t a new story in Indian football but as the national team continues to ride on the back of strong defensive displays, the hosts will hope that other attackers will rise to the occasion when India take on Kuwait in the final of the South Asian Championship in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

Chhetri, at 38, continues to lead India from the front. The captain has scored five out of the seven goals India have managed so far in the competition, including the first-half strike when India faced Kuwait in the group stage. Udanta Singh and Naorem Mahesh are the two other players who’ve got their name on the score sheet but India know they’ll need more goal-scoring avenues if they wish to extend their unbeaten run at home and lift the regional title for the ninth time.
