SAFF Championship 2021: Can Sunil Chhetri go past Pele's goal tally?

The Indian skipper is on the cusp of overtaking Brazilian legend Pele...

When India will take on Bangladesh in their SAFF Championship opener on Monday, all eyes will be on captain Sunil Chhetri who will lead the attack. The Indian talisman has 75 international goals to his name, and he just needs two more strikes to equal Brazilian legend Pele's record of 77 goals.

A hat-trick against Bangladesh will help him go past Pele, and be level with Hussein Saeed of Iraq. India are to play a minimum of four international games and Chhetri will certainly look to add more goals to his tally.
