The Indian senior men’s team kicked off their SAFF Championship title defence with a 4-0 victory over Pakistan in Group A on Wednesday, June 21 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
Sunil Chhetri netted an early brace before adding another after the break for his fourth international hat-trick, thereby taking his tally to 90 goals. Substitute Udanta Singh then finished the job with the fourth goal late on to sum up a memorable night for the Blue Tigers on their return to Bengaluru after almost six years.
