VIDEO – NewsClick: Jordan vs India friendly preview!

Former pro and Star Sports presenter Arjun Pandit joins NewsClick at their studio before the Indian football team’s trip to Amman where they play Jordan on November 17.

This is India’s second high-profile friendly (they played China in October) as the squad enters the final phase of preparations for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. India have not played at the continental championships since 2011, when Baichung Bhutia captained the squad.

In a massive blow, Sunil Chhetri, India’s most experienced player and leading goalscorer in international football, will miss the game owing to an ankle injury he picked up in an Indian Super League match for Bengaluru FC.
