Background

India Vs Kuwait Live: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the India Vs Kuwait FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualification AFC 2nd Round at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium in Kolkata. Captain Fantasic, Legend, Iconic, all these words will fall short for today's football match, as Sunil Chettri will don the Indian National Football Team shirt for the very last time. The 39-year old forward announced his retirement last month and the record-goalscorer for the national side will be looking forward to call it a day with an important win.The fixture is of immense importance to India as they need a win to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive, as the Blue Tigers are on a 6-match winless streak, with their last win coming against Kuwait only. India are currently 2nd in the table, and endured adverse results in both of their matches against Afghanistan, as they managed a draw and a defeat in their two meetings. If India wins tonight, they will go on 7 points, and Afghanistan's hopes for qualifying will hit a major bump in the road. India's Starting XI: (4-2-3-1 airplane formation)GK: Gurpreet Singh SandhuLB: Nikhil PoojariCB's: Anwar Ali, Rahul BhekeRB: Jay GuptaCM's: Suresh Singh Wangjam, Liston ColacoLW: Anirudh ThapaCAM: Sahal Abdul SamadRW: Lallianzuala ChhangteST: Sunil Chettri Subs: Brandon Fernandes, Rahim Ali, Manvir Singh, Vishal Kaith, Subhasish Bose, Mehtab Singh, Amrinder Singh, Amey Ranawade, Jeakson Singh Thounaojam, Edmund Lalrindika, Naorem Mahesh Singh, Nandha Kumar Sekar
