Sunil Chhetri achieved this milestone in his 87th match and this is what he said in the post-match ceremony after being asked about his feeling.
“Number of goals never matter for me. I never keep track of feats. I just play for my nation,” Chhetri said after the match ended in a 1-2 defeat for the visitors.
