India vs Nepal Where To Watch
India’s dominant performance against Pakistan in the SAFF Championship has set the stage for another compelling match as they prepare to face Nepal. Ranked as the third lowest team in the competition, Nepal suffered an opening-day defeat against Kuwait. With the odds stacked against them, Nepal needs an exceptional performance to overcome India’s formidable and confident squad. Although Coach Igor Stimac will serve a one-match suspension, his influence continues to inspire the Indian team.
India’s Determination to Excel:
Despite Coach Stimac’s absence from the touchline, his presence is still felt as he led the team’s training session and provided a motivational pep talk. Sahal Abdul Samad, a favored player of Stimac, aims to apply the knowledge gained during training. In a pre-match interview, the 26-year-old playmaker emphasized the importance of contributing more to alleviate the goal-scoring burden on captain and talisman Sunil Chhetri. While India showcased promising passing moves against Pakistan, their final touch eluded them until the closing moments when Anwar Ali’s pinpoint lofted pass set up Udanta Singh for a goal-scoring opportunity.
Sahal expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “We have an incredible goal scorer on our team. The coach encourages us to change that and we need to start finding the back of the net consistently, not just relying on Sunil bhai. Our style of play has evolved over the past four years, and we are delighted with our progress.”

Nevertheless, we are fully prepared for the challenge they pose.”
