Indian football team's star centre-back Sandesh Jhingan on Monday apologised for making a sexist comment after his ISL team ATK Mohun Bagan's 2-2 draw against Kerala Blasters.

A video uploaded on ATK Mohun Bagan's Instagram page, which has since been deleted, captured the 28-year-old defender as saying, ''Aurato ke saath match khel aaya hoon, aurato ke saath'' (I have played a match with women, with women) as he made his way back to the dressing room at Vasco in Goa on Saturday.

Here’s the video of Jhingan making the sexist comment:

Jhingan Commented " we played against girls " after yesterday's game.
