The Indian team had held Asian champions Qatar to a goalless draw four years ago and this will act as an inspiration for the team in this match. India surprised the football world by holding Qatar to a goalless draw in the second round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers on September 10, 2019. Qatar were in tremendous form at that time and had won the Asia Cup title in early 2019. Charismatic Indian captain Sunil Chhetri did not take the field in that match due to ill health but he will be eager to showcase his skills at the Kalinga Stadium on Tuesday.
