The Indian football team has scored an impressive 4-0 victory against Pakistan, with Sunil Chhetri stealing the spotlight after scoring a hat-trick. This victory has led fans to lavish praise on the team, with some even suggesting that Chhetri and Indian cricket star Virat Kohli are enough to take on Pakistan.
Kohli’s impressive performance against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022 match last year at the Melbourne Cricket Ground earned him accolades from fans, as he helped steer India to victory with an unbeaten 82. In 10 T20s against Pakistan, Kohli has an impressive average of 81.33 with 488 runs.
Chhetri was equally impressive in the recent football match against Pakistan, scoring his first two goals in the 10th and 16th minute and completing his hat-trick in the 72nd minute, with Udanta Singh Kumam scoring the final goal in the 81st minute. This led to an emphatic performance from the Blue Tigers, leading to widespread praise from fans.
However, tensions rose during the game as India coach Igor Stimac prevented a Pakistani player from taking a throw-in at the touchline, ultimately leading to a scuffle between the players. Stimac received a red card, while his Pakistani counterpart received a yellow card.
Chhetri’s impressive performance in this game has brought his total number of international goals to 90, earning him fourth place behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Ali Daei, and Lionel Messi.
Overall, this victory has garnered significant attention and praise from fans, highlighting the talent and tenacity of the Indian football team.
