16 years ago in Quetta, Pakistan, Indian football star Sunil Chhetri donned the Indian national team jersey for the very first time in his career.
India travelled to Pakistan to play a three-match invitational series in June 2005. In the very first match of the series, Chhetri was handed his international debut by then Indian coach Sukhwinder Singh.
The Indian star currently has 74 international goals to his name in 117 international matches. He is also the third-highest international goalscorer among active footballers in the world, behind Cristiano Ronaldo (104) and UAE's Ali Mabkhout (75).
