“I had a dream but never dreamt of playing 100 International matches. This is unbelievable,” National Team captain Sunil Chhetri said prior to Team India’s practice session at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday (June 3, 2018).




“Honestly, I never think much about milestones. It was only when I was having a chat with my mom the other night that she became a bit emotional. How big it was for her made me realise how big the occasion is,” he stated.




“I need to thank my parents, friends, family, all my coaches, players, fans, media for their support in my journey in being able to be the second person in history play 100 International matches for my country. It feels special,” he added. “I just feel I will be able to keep my emotions under control, play the game as we should, stick to the plan and try to win the game for the country.”




Chhetri’s is the 2nd Indian after his ‘mentor’ Bhaichung Bhutia to achieve the feat.




Referring to his ‘mentor’ Bhutia’s accolades for Chhetri evolving as a player, the ‘disciple’ said that “as players grow older they start filtering stuff.”.
