Chhetri donned the Indian kit for the first time way back in 2005 and has featured in as many as 115 matches for the national team in which he has netted 72 goals.
Chhetri is only behind the Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo in the list of active players with the most number of goals scored for the national team, having more international goals against his name than the likes of Lionel Messi.
