MUMBAI, June 9: India will for the umpteenth time look up to the talismanic Sunil Chhetri and a stadium packed to the brim with emotionally-charged fans for inspiration as they face Kenya in the summit showdown of the Intercontinental Cup here tomorrow.
The world�s third leading scorer, Chhetri have so far found the back of the net in each of the three games, including a hat-trick against Chinese Taipei and a brace against Kenya. The tournament is being used by hosts India as a preparatory ground for the AFC Asian Cup, to be held in January next year, and a win in the final will surely boost their confidence going ahead.
India had blanked Kenya 3-0 in the league game at the Mumbai Football Arena, which was skipper Chhetri�s 100th appearance in national colours. And the India captain made the game memorable by scoring a brace.
They will look to replicate the performance of their league game against the African side again in the summit clash, which the organisers have claimed to be a �sold out� match. � PTI
