Sunil Chhetri was once again on target for India in a crucial game.

It was India's third win against Kyrgyzstan in as many games in all competitions, and Chhetri has scored in each of those games.

After being rested for the friendly against Nepal last week, Chhetri was handed a start alongside Jeje Lalpekhlua and Jackichand...
