But ever since his debut for India national football team in King’s Cup in June, the Kerala Blasters player is making waves. The 22-year-old had a great match against Qatar in the World Cup qualifier on September 10 which earned words of praise from none other than the India captain Sunil Chhetri. A fan of Lionel Messi, Sahal said India will not be taking Bangladesh lightly. “We respect our opponents but our aim is to get three points.”According to Sahal, national team coach Igor Stimac never puts any pressure on the players. Sahal wants to improve and he knows his defensive quality remains a problem.
