*SB News Bureau:* The most entertaining competition after the football World Cup, the Euro Cup is going to start on Friday. As a result, football lovers of the city started waking up at night.
  

  
Two years ago, the magnificent football World Cup was held in Qatar. In the last 32-country fight, many countries have caught the eye separately. After the World Cup, arguably football's competition ahead of the rest, the Euro Cup gets underway on Friday. Germany and Scotland meet in the first match in Munich. Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, Kylian Mbappe's France, Harry Kane's England or three-time winners Spain, there is no shortage of countries to catch the eye at the Euro Cup. But this competition is always used to surprise. In 2004, Greece surprised everyone and won the trophy. A last-minute opportunity after Yugoslavia's relegation, Denmark surprised by winning Euro 1992. This time also any country can surprise.
  

  
Germany, which hosted the World Cup in 2006, is now the host of the Euro Cup. They want to bring back the experience of 18 years ago. Millions of people have already gathered in that country. Every stadium is likely to be full. But this time the political context of Europe is different. It's the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine that the Euros are taking place. It's hard to predict who will win after a month of football war. However, UEFA and host Germany have promised to set this year's Euros apart from the rest. Football lovers all over the world are looking forward to enjoy that joy.

क्या बीजेपी और आरएसएस के बीच बढ़ गई हैं दूरियां? भागवत के बाद इस नेता के बयान से बढ़ा सियासी पारा
#after_mohan_bhagwat_indresh_kumar_targeted_pm_modi
लोकसभा चुनावों के नतीजे आने के बाद आरएसएस की ओर से लगातार बीजेपी पर लगातार निशाने साधे जा रहे हैं।सबसे पहले संघ के प्रमुख मोहन भागवत ने बीजेपी को आईना दिखाया। अब राष्ट्रीय स्वंय सेवक संघ के नेता इंद्रेश कुमार ने बड़ा बयान दिया है। उन्होंने तीसरी बार केन्द्र की सत्ता पर काबिज बीजेपी पर 'अहंकार' होने का आरोप लगाया है।इन्द्रेश कुमार ने बिना नाम लिए कहा कि चुनाव में इस पार्टी की कम सीटें इसलिए आई क्योंकि वे अहंकार में थे।

  


इंद्रेश कुमार ने कहा, “राम सभी के साथ न्याय करते हैं। 2024 के लोकसभा चुनाव में क्या हुआ? जिन लोगों ने राम की भक्ति की थी लेकिन उनमें अहंकार आ गया। इसलिए उन लोगों सबसे बड़ी पार्टी बनना था, उनको पूरा हक मिलना चाहिए था जो शक्ति मिलनी चाहिए थी वो नहीं मिली। भगवान राम ने उनके अहंकार के कारण उनको पूर्ण बहुमत नहीं आने दिया।”

आरएसएस नेता ने सत्तारूढ़ बीजेपी और विपक्षी ‘इंडिया’ गठबंधन दोनों पर निशाना साधा। हालांकि, उन्होंने किसी पार्टी का नाम नहीं लिया। कुमार ने कहा, 'लोकतंत्र में रामराज्य का ‘विधान’ देखिए, जिन्होंने राम की भक्ति की, लेकिन धीरे-धीरे अहंकारी हो गए, वह पार्टी सबसे बड़ी पार्टी बनकर उभरी, लेकिन जो वोट और सत्ता (अकेले पूर्ण बहुमत) मिलनी चाहिए थी, उसे भगवान ने अहंकार के कारण रोक दिया।’
उन्होंने कहा कि भक्ति करने वाली पार्टी अहंकारी हो गई, उसे 241 पर ही भगवान ने रोक दिया, लेकिन उसे सबसे बड़ी पार्टी बना दिया और जिनकी राम में आस्था नहीं थी, उन सबको मिलकर भगवान ने 234 पर रोक दिया।

बता दें कि लोकसभा चुनाव 2024 में भारतीय जनता पार्टी (BJP) अकेले दम पर बहुमत के आंकड़े को नहीं पा सकी। 240 सीट लाकर बीजेपी सबसे बड़ी पार्टी तो बनी लेकिन पीएम मोदी का ‘अबकी बार 400 पार’ का दावा धरा का धरा रह गया। लोकसभा चुनाव के रिजल्ट के कुछ दिन बाद आरएसएस चीफ मोहन भागवत ने बिना नाम लिए कहा था कि सेवक को अहंकारी कभी नहीं होना चाहिए। पीएम मोदी के चेहरे की चमक धमक के आगे बीजेपी के नेता जमीन पर काम करना भूल गए हैं। भागवत के इस बयान के बाद उन कयासों को बल मिलना शुरू हो गया जिसमें कहा जा रहा था कि आरएसएस और बीजेपी के बीच कुछ भी ठीक नहीं चल रहा है। अब संघ की राष्ट्रीय कार्यकारिणी के सदस्य इंद्रेश कुमार ने बीजेपी पर हमला बोला है। जिसने दोनों संगठनों के बीच के रिश्ते को लेकर सवाल खड़े हो रहे हैं।

India play goalless draw against Kuwait

 
 
  *Sports News* 
  

  

   
  

  

  
Khabar kolkata:  India's hopes for qualifying for the third round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup 2027 Preliminary Joint Qualification took a hit as they were held 0-0 by Kuwait in their penultimate Group A game at the Salt Lake Yubo bharati Stadium on Thursday.
  

  
In what was Sunil Chhetri's 151st and last dance in Indian colours, victory may have eluded him at the full-time whistle, but emotions couldn't. After a lap around the 58,921 fans at the Salt Lake Stadium, the captain, leader, legend, let out his farewell tears when the Indian players and team officials gave him a guard of honour to the tunnel. In a warm gesture, each one of Kuwait's players and officials also paid their respects with handshakes and hugs with the Indian skipper.
  

  
As far as the match is concerned, it was far from a drab affair, with a host of chances at both ends, particularly in the first half. But some top-notch defending and fine saves reduced the contest to a goalless one.
  

  
Igor Stimac handed out a full India debut to left-back Jay Gupta, while Edmund Lalrindika came on in the last seven minutes in Gupta's place to make his debut too.
  

  
With the draw, India remain in second place with five points (Qatar will play Afghanistan later in the day), but importantly for Kuwait, they stay alive with four points. India will now hope for Qatar's victory over Afghanistan, and a draw between Kuwait and Afghanistan on June 11. In that scenario, a point for India against Qatar in five days' time in Doha will be enough to progress to the third round.
  

  
Kuwait made the earliest inroad in the fifth minute when left-winger Mohammad Abdulah shouldered his way into the box and came one-on-one with Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, but the Indian custodian stood strong, sticking his leg out to make a vital save early on.
  

  
India also responded with frantic pace on the left courtesy of Liston Colaco, who raced his way past the Kuwait right-back and put in a low cross, but Hasan Alanezi stabbed the ball clear for the visitors. India had their first shot from the resulting Anirudh Thapa corner, with an unmarked Anwar Ali heading it inches over the bar.
  

  
In the 25th minute, both teams had their heart-in-the-mouth moments in the space of a few seconds. First, it was Eid Alrashidi breaking the offside trap to stray clear on goal before dinking the ball over an onrushing Gurpreet. It landed just wide of the goal net. Immediately after, Jay Gupta burst forward and put an inviting low cross from the left. But Alanezi was on hand again to clear the danger for Kuwait at full stretch.
  

  
Slowly and steadily, India grew in confidence and began stringing attacks patiently, mostly utilising the speed of their wingers. Lallianzuala Chhangte got the better of left-back Meshari Alenezi on a couple of occasions and swung in dangerous crosses from the right, but Kuwait actively hacked them clear. Stimac's men were quicker to the second balls as well, winning the ball in the final third and making Kuwait sweat at the back.
  

  
On a couple of occasions, Liston also tried his luck from distance, first smashing the side-netting, before skying it wayward from an audacious 40-yard attempt.
  

  
At half-time, Stimac made two changes, sacrificing midfielder Thapa to bring on striker Rahim Ali, while Brandon Fernandes replaced Sahal Abdul Samad in the middle.
  

  
The start to the second half was as wild as the first. Both goalkeepers were tested to the fullest in and came out on top. Faisal Alharbi's stinging volley from barely six yards out was met with a stunning reflex save from Gurpreet, who dipped his entire 196-centimetre figure to palm it out. A few minutes later, he had to stretch to the top corner to push out Yousef Alsulaiman's effort.
  

  
Sandwiched between Gurpreet's heroics was Sulaiman Abdulghafoor's one-on-one save for Kuwait. He made himself big to deny Rahim, who had latched on to a great through ball.
  

  
India struggled to maintain their first-half intensity and the tempo shifted towards Kuwait for a while. Substitute Ali Matar got plenty of space near the edge of the box, but he hesitated to shoot early and by the time he did, Rahul Bheke had thrown his body to make a solid block.
  

  
For those in blue, time seemed to pass quicker as they were left frustrated by Kuwait slowing down the tempo of the game.
  

  
The Blue Tigers sprang to some life in injury time, but it was not enough. Brandon Fernandes flashed a low ball across the face of the goal, but it was Alenezi once again to clear the danger for Kuwait for the umpteenth time on the night. Seconds later, Chhangte picked out Manvir with an inch-perfect cross but the latter nodded it wide of the near post.

A legend's final bow: Chhetri wants to walk out on a high

 
 
  Sports News 
  

  

  
  

  

  
Khabar kolkata News bureau:At the end of Sunil Chhetri's penultimate training session of his 19-year international career for India, he quietly picked up a ball, delicately placed it on the penalty spot and signalled Vishal Kaith to take his place between the sticks. As he's done at the end of every training session, he wanted to take a few attempts from 12 yards out before wrapping up for the day.
  

  
Chhetri shot four and scored all four of them. A slight grin appeared on his face after every shot. It wasn't just the joy of a successful strike, but of living every last moment of his national team career to the fullest. When the captain announced his retirement, for everyone else, everything became about June 6. But for Chhetri, it was about every single training session leading up to the big day. Every drop of sweat, every stride in his run, every swing of his boot attempting to score every shot in every practice session.
  

  
But on June 6, the captain wants it to be all about India. His life has been all about football. After the lights of the Salt Lake Stadium dim on Thursday night, he won't be part of the game for his country on the pitch, but will become another one of the billion-and-a-half fans of the national team. The 90 minutes before that could change Indian football completely. And perhaps fate had it that they would be Chhetri's last 90 minutes too. But there's nothing more the legend wants than bidding adieu to the sacred blue jersey, one which absorbed all of his sweat for nearly two decades, with all three points, which could potentially propel India to the third round. All he wishes for the post-Chhetri Indian team is to see them rub shoulders with Asia's elite.
  

  
"I've been fighting a small battle every day. Don't ask me how I feel (about retirement). Because I don't want to address it. We really need to win tomorrow. Once we win this game, it gives us a great chance to go to the third round, which we have never been to. One thing we know for sure is that this is not going to be easy. And one thing we are very happy about is that we're playing in Kolkata. We'll have tremendous support," said Chhetri.
  

  
The fan life will be different, but it's something the 39-year-old has already visualised.
  

  
"I'll be there wearing a nice suit, coming to watch all our boys play. That's the dream. We win tomorrow, hopefully, and we'll be almost qualified. It's not 100% guaranteed. There are some permutations and combinations, but we'll qualify. There will be 10 top games against the best in Asia, home and away. We'll go and watch the games. I get free tickets so I can enjoy it. That's the whole plan but again, this is only after the hard work that we put in tomorrow. Every day when I talk to the boys I keep telling them this. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan and I can go and watch them (in the third round). Just imagine playing against Japan and Australia in the third round. Just imagine what the whole euphoria will be and that is why the win is important. That's why we want everyone together," stressed Chhetri.
  

  
It would simply be the best farewell gift for the captain, and from the captain. The gift for billions in a nation for whom Indian football has only meant Sunil Chhetri over the last two decades. He made the country believe in their national team and inspired millions to kick a football. An icon of not just India, but global football. Only three players have scored more international goals in the history of the sport than him. The numbers speak for themselves. Some of those numbers will never be achieved again.
  

  
Thursday will be the 151st and final time he will don the India shirt. From the 20-year-old who sprayed perfume on his shirt before his debut, to the 39-year-old legendary figure, who will have thousands wearing the India jersey with his name on the back, this has been the journey of the nation's greatest football player.
  

  
"I think it's the right time. This is the right setup. It's one of the biggest games that I, who has played for 19 years, is going to play. We win, we go to the third round where we've never been before. There couldn't be a better game for me to call it my last. I'm at peace from the inside. I've given whatever I had."

History beckons Blue Tigers: Chhetri and his men eager to script their own narrative

 
 
  *Sports News* 
  

  

  
  
 *Khabar kolkata News bureau* : The road has been rugged and bumpy so far but India still stand on the cusp of history. A victory on the night of June 6 at the Salt Lake Vivekananda Yubo bharti Stadium for India against Kuwait in their penultimate Group A fixture of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup 2027 Preliminary Joint Qualification Round 2 will put their one foot into the never-seen-before territory - the next round of qualifiers.
  

  
June 6. It's a date that has been echoing in the realm of Indian football for the past couple of months. The defeat to Afghanistan in Guwahati in March converted this date into practically a do-or-die occasion for India. And the echoes were further amplified when Sunil Chhetri, exactly three weeks before the D-Day, announced that it would also be his R-Day — R for Retirement. After 19 years of unmatchable service to his great nation, the Indian skipper will hang his boots at the Salt Lake, amid more than 60 thousand people, who will witness the legend's last kick of the ball for India.
  

  
But Chhetri was the quickest to point out during Wednesday's pre-match press conference that the match should not be about him, but the potentially ground-breaking result awaiting Indian football.
  

  
"I'm trying really hard not to think about the game emotionally. It's not about me. I would love to win 1-0, I don't care who scores. The last 15 days have been good. I think we're on the same page in terms of fitness and that's a good headache for the coach to have," said Chhetri.
  

  
India head coach Igor Stimac also concurred with his skipper's words. The most significant thing about tomorrow will be the victory. The fact that it's Chhetri's last 90 minutes for the nation adds to the prestige of the fixture.
  

  
"Knowing that this is the last game of our captain for the national team makes this occasion much, much bigger. But of course, this is still about India winning against Kuwait. We are focussed on what we need to do. I will put it in a few words - we are ready for it," said Stimac.
  

  
India and Kuwait have met thrice in the last 12 months, twice in the SAFF Championship (1-1 in the group stage and a penalty shoot-out win for India in the final), before the Blue Tigers triumphed 1-0 in the World Cup Qualifiers in November.
  

  
"We had three tight, tough games against Kuwait," said Stimac. "Either team could've won them. I would say our best game was away in Kuwait in these qualifiers because that was perfect defensive shape, not allowing them to get near our box and create clear chances. That's what we need to repeat tomorrow, with our discipline, focus, tight marking, reaching the opposition goal and scoring the goal because that's what we need."
  

  
Scoring goals from open play has been an Achilles heel for India, who have failed to score in five of the last six matches apart from Chhetri's penalty against Afghanistan in Guwahati. In fact, India's last open-play goal came against Kuwait from Manvir Singh's left foot. But with every passing training session with goal nets bulging non-stop from finishing drills, Stimac gains more and more confidence.
  

  
"The boys have worked tremendously hard on details and for everything that is needed for this game. We're going to be absolutely ready for each scenario which awaits us," he said.
  

  
As far as India's opponents are concerned, after the end of their domestic season in the last week of May, Kuwait held a one-week camp in Bangkok before travelling to Kolkata on Tuesday night. Their Portuguese head coach Rui Bento named a 26-man squad composed entirely of players from the Kuwait Premier League.
  

  
"We expect a good game tomorrow. We know that both teams have competitive targets and the same goal. We've had a good environment in our training. We believe that more than the one week of camp in Thailand, it's about the one and a half year of us being together as a team," said Bento.
  

  
The former Portugal youth international coach believed Kuwait, ranked 139th in the world, are now in a better place than last year and can put up a better challenge against India on Thursday as compared to the last three meetings. However, the West Asians are also wary that a defeat will condemn them to the bottom two in the group and officially eliminate them from World Cup qualifying.
  

  
"Yes, we played three games against India last year. They were all very balanced and the teams were at a similar level. But all those matches are history. Football is always an ongoing process, and we are proud and confident of ourselves. We are more prepared now to face India and expect ourselves to be better than before and win the game," said Bento.

क्या बीजेपी और आरएसएस के बीच बढ़ गई हैं दूरियां? भागवत के बाद इस नेता के बयान से बढ़ा सियासी पारा
#after_mohan_bhagwat_indresh_kumar_targeted_pm_modi
लोकसभा चुनावों के नतीजे आने के बाद आरएसएस की ओर से लगातार बीजेपी पर लगातार निशाने साधे जा रहे हैं।सबसे पहले संघ के प्रमुख मोहन भागवत ने बीजेपी को आईना दिखाया। अब राष्ट्रीय स्वंय सेवक संघ के नेता इंद्रेश कुमार ने बड़ा बयान दिया है। उन्होंने तीसरी बार केन्द्र की सत्ता पर काबिज बीजेपी पर 'अहंकार' होने का आरोप लगाया है।इन्द्रेश कुमार ने बिना नाम लिए कहा कि चुनाव में इस पार्टी की कम सीटें इसलिए आई क्योंकि वे अहंकार में थे।

  


इंद्रेश कुमार ने कहा, “राम सभी के साथ न्याय करते हैं। 2024 के लोकसभा चुनाव में क्या हुआ? जिन लोगों ने राम की भक्ति की थी लेकिन उनमें अहंकार आ गया। इसलिए उन लोगों सबसे बड़ी पार्टी बनना था, उनको पूरा हक मिलना चाहिए था जो शक्ति मिलनी चाहिए थी वो नहीं मिली। भगवान राम ने उनके अहंकार के कारण उनको पूर्ण बहुमत नहीं आने दिया।”

बता दें कि लोकसभा चुनाव 2024 में भारतीय जनता पार्टी (BJP) अकेले दम पर बहुमत के आंकड़े को नहीं पा सकी। 240 सीट लाकर बीजेपी सबसे बड़ी पार्टी तो बनी लेकिन पीएम मोदी का ‘अबकी बार 400 पार’ का दावा धरा का धरा रह गया। लोकसभा चुनाव के रिजल्ट के कुछ दिन बाद आरएसएस चीफ मोहन भागवत ने बिना नाम लिए कहा था कि सेवक को अहंकारी कभी नहीं होना चाहिए। पीएम मोदी के चेहरे की चमक धमक के आगे बीजेपी के नेता जमीन पर काम करना भूल गए हैं। भागवत के इस बयान के बाद उन कयासों को बल मिलना शुरू हो गया जिसमें कहा जा रहा था कि आरएसएस और बीजेपी के बीच कुछ भी ठीक नहीं चल रहा है। अब संघ की राष्ट्रीय कार्यकारिणी के सदस्य इंद्रेश कुमार ने बीजेपी पर हमला बोला है। जिसने दोनों संगठनों के बीच के रिश्ते को लेकर सवाल खड़े हो रहे हैं।

India play goalless draw against Kuwait

 
 
  *Sports News* 
  

  

   
  

  

  
Khabar kolkata:  India's hopes for qualifying for the third round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup 2027 Preliminary Joint Qualification took a hit as they were held 0-0 by Kuwait in their penultimate Group A game at the Salt Lake Yubo bharati Stadium on Thursday.
  

  
In what was Sunil Chhetri's 151st and last dance in Indian colours, victory may have eluded him at the full-time whistle, but emotions couldn't. After a lap around the 58,921 fans at the Salt Lake Stadium, the captain, leader, legend, let out his farewell tears when the Indian players and team officials gave him a guard of honour to the tunnel. In a warm gesture, each one of Kuwait's players and officials also paid their respects with handshakes and hugs with the Indian skipper.
  

  
As far as the match is concerned, it was far from a drab affair, with a host of chances at both ends, particularly in the first half. But some top-notch defending and fine saves reduced the contest to a goalless one.
  

  
Igor Stimac handed out a full India debut to left-back Jay Gupta, while Edmund Lalrindika came on in the last seven minutes in Gupta's place to make his debut too.
  

  
With the draw, India remain in second place with five points (Qatar will play Afghanistan later in the day), but importantly for Kuwait, they stay alive with four points. India will now hope for Qatar's victory over Afghanistan, and a draw between Kuwait and Afghanistan on June 11. In that scenario, a point for India against Qatar in five days' time in Doha will be enough to progress to the third round.
  

  
Kuwait made the earliest inroad in the fifth minute when left-winger Mohammad Abdulah shouldered his way into the box and came one-on-one with Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, but the Indian custodian stood strong, sticking his leg out to make a vital save early on.
  

  
India also responded with frantic pace on the left courtesy of Liston Colaco, who raced his way past the Kuwait right-back and put in a low cross, but Hasan Alanezi stabbed the ball clear for the visitors. India had their first shot from the resulting Anirudh Thapa corner, with an unmarked Anwar Ali heading it inches over the bar.
  

  
In the 25th minute, both teams had their heart-in-the-mouth moments in the space of a few seconds. First, it was Eid Alrashidi breaking the offside trap to stray clear on goal before dinking the ball over an onrushing Gurpreet. It landed just wide of the goal net. Immediately after, Jay Gupta burst forward and put an inviting low cross from the left. But Alanezi was on hand again to clear the danger for Kuwait at full stretch.
  

  
Slowly and steadily, India grew in confidence and began stringing attacks patiently, mostly utilising the speed of their wingers. Lallianzuala Chhangte got the better of left-back Meshari Alenezi on a couple of occasions and swung in dangerous crosses from the right, but Kuwait actively hacked them clear. Stimac's men were quicker to the second balls as well, winning the ball in the final third and making Kuwait sweat at the back.
  

  
On a couple of occasions, Liston also tried his luck from distance, first smashing the side-netting, before skying it wayward from an audacious 40-yard attempt.
  

  
At half-time, Stimac made two changes, sacrificing midfielder Thapa to bring on striker Rahim Ali, while Brandon Fernandes replaced Sahal Abdul Samad in the middle.
  

  
The start to the second half was as wild as the first. Both goalkeepers were tested to the fullest in and came out on top. Faisal Alharbi's stinging volley from barely six yards out was met with a stunning reflex save from Gurpreet, who dipped his entire 196-centimetre figure to palm it out. A few minutes later, he had to stretch to the top corner to push out Yousef Alsulaiman's effort.
  

  
Sandwiched between Gurpreet's heroics was Sulaiman Abdulghafoor's one-on-one save for Kuwait. He made himself big to deny Rahim, who had latched on to a great through ball.
  

  
India struggled to maintain their first-half intensity and the tempo shifted towards Kuwait for a while. Substitute Ali Matar got plenty of space near the edge of the box, but he hesitated to shoot early and by the time he did, Rahul Bheke had thrown his body to make a solid block.
  

  
For those in blue, time seemed to pass quicker as they were left frustrated by Kuwait slowing down the tempo of the game.
  

  
The Blue Tigers sprang to some life in injury time, but it was not enough. Brandon Fernandes flashed a low ball across the face of the goal, but it was Alenezi once again to clear the danger for Kuwait for the umpteenth time on the night. Seconds later, Chhangte picked out Manvir with an inch-perfect cross but the latter nodded it wide of the near post.

A legend's final bow: Chhetri wants to walk out on a high

 
 
  Sports News 
  

  

  
  

  

  
Khabar kolkata News bureau:At the end of Sunil Chhetri's penultimate training session of his 19-year international career for India, he quietly picked up a ball, delicately placed it on the penalty spot and signalled Vishal Kaith to take his place between the sticks. As he's done at the end of every training session, he wanted to take a few attempts from 12 yards out before wrapping up for the day.
  

  
Chhetri shot four and scored all four of them. A slight grin appeared on his face after every shot. It wasn't just the joy of a successful strike, but of living every last moment of his national team career to the fullest. When the captain announced his retirement, for everyone else, everything became about June 6. But for Chhetri, it was about every single training session leading up to the big day. Every drop of sweat, every stride in his run, every swing of his boot attempting to score every shot in every practice session.
  

  
But on June 6, the captain wants it to be all about India. His life has been all about football. After the lights of the Salt Lake Stadium dim on Thursday night, he won't be part of the game for his country on the pitch, but will become another one of the billion-and-a-half fans of the national team. The 90 minutes before that could change Indian football completely. And perhaps fate had it that they would be Chhetri's last 90 minutes too. But there's nothing more the legend wants than bidding adieu to the sacred blue jersey, one which absorbed all of his sweat for nearly two decades, with all three points, which could potentially propel India to the third round. All he wishes for the post-Chhetri Indian team is to see them rub shoulders with Asia's elite.
  

  
"I've been fighting a small battle every day. Don't ask me how I feel (about retirement). Because I don't want to address it. We really need to win tomorrow. Once we win this game, it gives us a great chance to go to the third round, which we have never been to. One thing we know for sure is that this is not going to be easy. And one thing we are very happy about is that we're playing in Kolkata. We'll have tremendous support," said Chhetri.
  

  
The fan life will be different, but it's something the 39-year-old has already visualised.
  

  
"I'll be there wearing a nice suit, coming to watch all our boys play. That's the dream. We win tomorrow, hopefully, and we'll be almost qualified. It's not 100% guaranteed. There are some permutations and combinations, but we'll qualify. There will be 10 top games against the best in Asia, home and away. We'll go and watch the games. I get free tickets so I can enjoy it. That's the whole plan but again, this is only after the hard work that we put in tomorrow. Every day when I talk to the boys I keep telling them this. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan and I can go and watch them (in the third round). Just imagine playing against Japan and Australia in the third round. Just imagine what the whole euphoria will be and that is why the win is important. That's why we want everyone together," stressed Chhetri.
  

  
It would simply be the best farewell gift for the captain, and from the captain. The gift for billions in a nation for whom Indian football has only meant Sunil Chhetri over the last two decades. He made the country believe in their national team and inspired millions to kick a football. An icon of not just India, but global football. Only three players have scored more international goals in the history of the sport than him. The numbers speak for themselves. Some of those numbers will never be achieved again.
  

  
Thursday will be the 151st and final time he will don the India shirt. From the 20-year-old who sprayed perfume on his shirt before his debut, to the 39-year-old legendary figure, who will have thousands wearing the India jersey with his name on the back, this has been the journey of the nation's greatest football player.
  

  
"I think it's the right time. This is the right setup. It's one of the biggest games that I, who has played for 19 years, is going to play. We win, we go to the third round where we've never been before. There couldn't be a better game for me to call it my last. I'm at peace from the inside. I've given whatever I had."

History beckons Blue Tigers: Chhetri and his men eager to script their own narrative

 
 
  *Sports News* 
  

  

  
  
 *Khabar kolkata News bureau* : The road has been rugged and bumpy so far but India still stand on the cusp of history. A victory on the night of June 6 at the Salt Lake Vivekananda Yubo bharti Stadium for India against Kuwait in their penultimate Group A fixture of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup 2027 Preliminary Joint Qualification Round 2 will put their one foot into the never-seen-before territory - the next round of qualifiers.
  

  
June 6. It's a date that has been echoing in the realm of Indian football for the past couple of months. The defeat to Afghanistan in Guwahati in March converted this date into practically a do-or-die occasion for India. And the echoes were further amplified when Sunil Chhetri, exactly three weeks before the D-Day, announced that it would also be his R-Day — R for Retirement. After 19 years of unmatchable service to his great nation, the Indian skipper will hang his boots at the Salt Lake, amid more than 60 thousand people, who will witness the legend's last kick of the ball for India.
  

  
But Chhetri was the quickest to point out during Wednesday's pre-match press conference that the match should not be about him, but the potentially ground-breaking result awaiting Indian football.
  

  
"I'm trying really hard not to think about the game emotionally. It's not about me. I would love to win 1-0, I don't care who scores. The last 15 days have been good. I think we're on the same page in terms of fitness and that's a good headache for the coach to have," said Chhetri.
  

  
India head coach Igor Stimac also concurred with his skipper's words. The most significant thing about tomorrow will be the victory. The fact that it's Chhetri's last 90 minutes for the nation adds to the prestige of the fixture.
  

  
"Knowing that this is the last game of our captain for the national team makes this occasion much, much bigger. But of course, this is still about India winning against Kuwait. We are focussed on what we need to do. I will put it in a few words - we are ready for it," said Stimac.
  

  
India and Kuwait have met thrice in the last 12 months, twice in the SAFF Championship (1-1 in the group stage and a penalty shoot-out win for India in the final), before the Blue Tigers triumphed 1-0 in the World Cup Qualifiers in November.
  

  
"We had three tight, tough games against Kuwait," said Stimac. "Either team could've won them. I would say our best game was away in Kuwait in these qualifiers because that was perfect defensive shape, not allowing them to get near our box and create clear chances. That's what we need to repeat tomorrow, with our discipline, focus, tight marking, reaching the opposition goal and scoring the goal because that's what we need."
  

  
Scoring goals from open play has been an Achilles heel for India, who have failed to score in five of the last six matches apart from Chhetri's penalty against Afghanistan in Guwahati. In fact, India's last open-play goal came against Kuwait from Manvir Singh's left foot. But with every passing training session with goal nets bulging non-stop from finishing drills, Stimac gains more and more confidence.
  

  
"The boys have worked tremendously hard on details and for everything that is needed for this game. We're going to be absolutely ready for each scenario which awaits us," he said.
  

  
As far as India's opponents are concerned, after the end of their domestic season in the last week of May, Kuwait held a one-week camp in Bangkok before travelling to Kolkata on Tuesday night. Their Portuguese head coach Rui Bento named a 26-man squad composed entirely of players from the Kuwait Premier League.
  

  
"We expect a good game tomorrow. We know that both teams have competitive targets and the same goal. We've had a good environment in our training. We believe that more than the one week of camp in Thailand, it's about the one and a half year of us being together as a team," said Bento.
  

  
The former Portugal youth international coach believed Kuwait, ranked 139th in the world, are now in a better place than last year and can put up a better challenge against India on Thursday as compared to the last three meetings. However, the West Asians are also wary that a defeat will condemn them to the bottom two in the group and officially eliminate them from World Cup qualifying.
  

  
"Yes, we played three games against India last year. They were all very balanced and the teams were at a similar level. But all those matches are history. Football is always an ongoing process, and we are proud and confident of ourselves. We are more prepared now to face India and expect ourselves to be better than before and win the game," said Bento.
