Kolkata: Sunil Chhetri will be cornerstone of every fan on Thursday when India take the field against Kuwait on a Group A encounter of the 2026 FIFA World Cup AFC Qualifiers at the Salt Lake stadium. Following an 19-year illustrious career, Chhetri, the poster boy of Indian football, will bid adieu to professional football, marking an end of an era in the sport. Keeping the Chhetri factor aside, it will be a do-or-die match for India as a victory against Kuwait will help the Blue Tigers a spot in the third round for the first time. With four points from same number of games, India are currently sitting second in the group. Afghanistan are third with same points as India but have inferior goal difference. A loss or a draw will be a severe setback for India.
India can dream big against Kuwait as the Blue Tigers have a 3-2 head-to-head record. Only one game ended in a draw. The last time India lost to Kuwait was in 2010. For the record, India faced Kuwait o three occasions last year, wining two games, while one match ended in a draw.
