Amarjit Singh became the first player born in the 21st century to start for the Indian team in an international game after he featured in their 1-0 win over Thailand in the King’s Cup.
The central midfielder put on a solid shift, much like most of the new cream of young Indian players who were handed an opportunity to prove their merits by new coach Igor Stimac.
It has been quite a journey for the international who had captained the U17 World Cup side two years ago in the World Cup. From being initiated into the football by his uncle Deben Singh, to furthering his football education at the Chandigarh Football Academy (CFA), and then playing for the senior India team, Amarjit has come a long way.
