Author: Mark Szczuka

Sunil Chhetri made his 150th appearance for Bengaluru FC this week in his side’s 1-0 home victory against Delhi Dynamos to take Bengaluru FC to the top of the Indian Super League table.

Chhetri, aged 34, is currently the joint second top active scorer in the world at International level with 65 goals in 103 appearances for India, alongside Argentina’s Lionel Messi who has played 25 matches more.

However both of them are still some way off Ronaldo who has scored 85 goals for Portugal in 154 matches.

With just over a month to go until the start of the Asian Cup on 5 January, India’s most capped player and their top scorer of all time will be looking forward to taking his country to UAE, thus giving him the chance to shine on the world stage.
