India vs Nepal: Naorem Mahesh takes his chances as other reserves disappoint and Sunil Chhetri scores again

Firstpost  

Sunil Chhetri bailing India out on a tough night. “He refused to take rest despite us asking him to,” India assistant coach Mahesh Gawli explained as Chhetri started his third straight game in the last six days. Mighty Mahesh On a night, where coach Igor Stimac decided to retain just three from the side that routed Pakistan 4-0 — Chhetri, Sahal Abdul Samad and Anirudh Thapa — and turning the game into an audition for the reserves, it was Naorem Mahesh who stood taller as other reserves had a rather substandard outing. As India look to find their best players ahead of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, Mahesh made the most of the opportunity among the six reserves who were offered a chance to start the match. It’s understandable that the incoming players took time to settle down but the spring in India’s feet after Chhangte and Jeakson came on in the second half exposed what they had lacked early on.
