In the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier clash between India and Afghanistan, Sunil Chhetri marks his 150th international match with a goal, giving India a 1-0 lead in the first half. The Indian football team aims to celebrate Chhetri's milestone with a win over Afghanistan in Guwahati. After a goalless draw in the away leg, India sits second in Group A standings. Chhetri, debuting against Pakistan, joins the elite group of footballers with 150 or more international appearances.

At halftime, India holds the advantage, with Chhetri's goal providing a significant boost despite a shaky performance from the team. As the saying goes, "Cometh the hour, cometh the man," and Chhetri proves his worth on this historic occasion.
