Sunil Chhetri has scored 72 international goals for India.

Sunil Chhetri is an Indian professional footballer who represents the India national football team as a forward. The current captain of the India national team, he is the country's all-time top goalscorer and most-capped player.[1][2][3] As of 19 November 2019, he has scored 72 goals in 115 official international appearances since his debut on 12 June 2005 against Pakistan.[a][8][9][10]

On 9 December 2011, Chhetri netted twice in a match (also known as a brace) in India's 3–1 semi-final win over the Maldives in the 2011 SAFF Championship to take his tally to 31,[11] thus becoming his country's all-time leading goalscorer surpassing the 29 set by I. M. Vijayan.[1][12] With his 72 international goals, he is currently the second-highest active international goal scorer behind Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and is also the highest active goalscorer from Asia. On 5 September 2019, Chhetri scored the only goal for India in a 2–1 defeat against Oman in 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers to take his tally to 72 international goals,[13] thus becoming the fifth-highest international goalscorer from Asia of all time. His tally of 72 puts him as the tenth-highest goalscorer in the history of international football.[14]

Chhetri scored his first ever international goal during his ever international appearance on 12 June 2005 against arch-rivals Pakistan.[10] Chhetri's first international tournament for India was the 2007 Nehru Cup where he scored four goals in total: two against Cambodia, one against Syria, and one against Kyrgyzstan, which helped India to win their first Nehru Cup title.[15][16] Chhetri's 50th goal came during his 88th match in a 3–2 victory against Maldives in the 2015 SAFF Cup semi-final.[17] He is the only Indian footballer to have scored 50 or more international goals. Between all of his 72 goals: 27 came in friendlies, 13 came in SAFF Cup matches, 9 in the Nehru Cup, 7 in World Cup qualifiers, 4 in AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, 4 in AFC Asian Cup finals, 1 in the King's Cup, and the rest have come in the AFC Challenge Cup and its qualifiers.[8] Chhetri has scored three international hat-tricks, the most by any Indian and has scored braces on twelve occasions.[1][8] He has scored more times against Chinese Taipei and the Maldives than any other team, with six goals against each of the sides. He has also scored eleven international goals at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, his most at a single ground. He has scored 11 out of his 72 goals from penalty kicks.

Footnotes

  1. ^ Chhetri also previously appeared thrice for the India U-20 side and scored 2 goals in the 2004 South Asian Games,[4][5] which are not considered as FIFA A international goals but are considered official goals by AIFF. He also scored a goal in an unofficial friendly match against Qatar. FIFA allows a maximum of six substitutions by each team for friendly matches,[6] but in the match against Qatar, more than six substitutions were made by India,[7] thus the match is not considered an official match.
