Sunil Chhetri did not come out in this match and India, under the leadership of Sandesh Jhingan, did not allow a goal on the strength of strong defence. Chhetri did not enter this match due to fever. Sandesh Jhingan, who was in his place, captained his responsibility well and made a big contribution to the team in defence. The Indian team will play the third match in Group E against Bangladesh in Kolkata on 15 October.
