Sunil Chhetri once again proved his metal when he scored two goals against Kenya in the Intercontinental cup summit clash in Mumbai. Chesting down a long pass from Anas Edathodika, that came through two Kenyan defenders and then sending the ball to the opposite team’s net with a low left footer, Chhetri came at par with Argentine superstar Lionel Messi.

Both Messi and Chhetri have got 64 International goals in their splendid football career so far.

Indian football team captain sunil Chhetri walked into the ground with 62 goals to his credit and walked out with 2 more goals in his cap from 102 International matches. Now he shares 21st position jointly with Messi on the all time great list of goal scorers.

Now, this 33 year old Indian player is left just behind Cristiano Ronaldo, the football superstars of Portugal, who has scored 81 goals from 150 matches to his credit. However, Chhetri hovers over Messi in terms of goals per match.

Chhetri has clocked 0.62 goals per match against 0.52 of Messi. Chhetri has scored 64 goals from 102 matches while the great Messi has been able to score as many goals in 124 outings.

Clearly it is a season packed with new achievements for the Indian skipper Sunil Chhetri. He has continued to dazzle with his electrifying footwork bordering on poetry in motion on the ground during international cup summit clashes this year.>
