The Indian football team has been undefeated against Bangladesh since 2003, but former Premier League (PL) star Hamza Choudhury’s arrival in the Bengal Tigers side has given the visitors an advantage. Sunil Chhetri has also made his return to international football for India. He scored in a friendly against the Maldives on his return a few days ago and will be aiming to score again.
India played a friendly match against Maldives last Wednesday to get ready for the crucial qualifier, winning convincingly 3-0, giving Monolo Márquez his first win as national team coach. Rahul Bheke, Liston Colaco, and Sunil Chhetri, who scored his 95th international goal upon returning to the national squad.
