When the final whistle was blown on June 6, 2024, it marked the end of an era. This is because, after a goalless draw against Kuwait in Kolkata, Sunil Chhetri announced his retirement from the Indian football team. It is important to remember that when it comes to football, India is not a superpower. However, this did not depress our icon, who never stopped striving to elevate his squad to the top. In 151 international appearances he scored a staggering 94 goals which is worth appreciation. Due to his contribution India was successful in lifting multiple silverwares on the international stage.
Hence, it can rightly be said that Sunil was our team's skeleton. As a result it will be difficult to fill the vacuum that his retirement has left. What does Indian football hold in store? The answer lies in the womb of time. But for now, farewell, legend. You will be missed.
