India custodian Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is excited at the prospect of pitting himself against the best side in Asia as the Blue Tigers prepare for their 2022 World Cup qualifier tie against Qatar.
Igor Stimac’s men suffered a 2-1 defeat against Oman in their first game after a spirited second-half comeback from the visitors ensured India took no points from the game.
In what was a bitter pill to swallow, the hosts dominated the first half, created several goal-scoring chances and even took the lead via Sunil Chhetri following a set-piece in the final third.
