After Ali Daei, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Chhetri is the fourth-highest goalscorer in men’s football with 95 goals in 152 games.
Sunil Chhetri, the legendary Indian football player, has made a significant contribution to games against Bangladesh during his international career. As of March 2025, Chhetri had scored five goals in five meetings with Bangladesh. On June 7, 2021, during the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, he scored both goals in India’s 2-0 victory over Bangladesh, marking one of his most notable performances. The fact that Chhetri consistently finds the net against Bangladesh highlights how important he is to the Indian football squad. The prospect of his coming back from international retirement to play in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers versus Bangladesh on March 25, 2025, heightens interest in the match.
