Divya Delhi: On March 25, India and Bangladesh will play their 29th international match. According to the AIFF Media Team, the Blue Tigers have won 14 games, including the first at the 1978 Asian Games, lost four, and drawn 10. Adil Khan's 88th-minute header that erupted the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Kriranganand Sunil Chhetri's 95th-minute free-kick in the SAFF Championship are just two examples of the neighbors' memorable clashes in the recent decade. Sunil Chhetri scored in the final 2021 SAFF Championship match, a 1-1 draw. The captain has scored six of India's past seven goals against Bangladesh, one of his statistical favorites. Among the over-aged U23 players, he scored the penalty in the 1-0 triumph in the 2023 Asian Games. Bangladesh last beat India in nearly two decades at the 2003 SAFF Championship semi-final in Dhaka, winning 2-1 in extra time. The Blue Tigers have never lost to the Bengal Tigers in India.
