Sunil Chhetri bid farewell to international football as India played out a goalless draw against Kuwait in their FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier match in Kolkata. With his retirement, Chhetri leaves as the fourth highest goal-scorer in international football. Despite both India and Kuwait having good chances, neither team could convert them, resulting in a stalemate. India maintains their second position in the group standings, now requiring a win over Qatar in their next match to secure qualification for the next round.
