Midfielder Manjot Singh Dhami: India’s start to the U-20 SAFF Championship saw them scrape past Bhutan in a gruelling encounter which saw his side receive two red cards and finish the game with nine men. Head coach Ranjan Chaudhuri has called finishing a key area in which the team lacked.

While head coach Chaudhuri was full of praise for his boys who managed to hold on to the 1-0 lead against Bhutan despite being down to nine men, he also pointed out how India still need to improve while going forward.

“The way our boys fought after the two red cards is indeed commendable. It’s not easy to set a stable formation with nine players, but they managed to hold the fort. It speaks a great deal about their character,” said Chaudhuri.
