SAFF Championships: 7 time champions India to start campaign against plucky Bangladesh

Title favourites India begin their SAFF Championships campaign against a plucky Bangladesh on Monday, knowing fully well that they are just ‘a little bit superior’ than their opponents despite the domination in this regional tournament.

A day prior to India’s opening fixture against Bangladesh in the SAFF Championship, and with the morning practice session done, the boys had already moved into the match zone.

Bangladesh have been a tough customer for India customer who had needed a late equaliser in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers match in Kolkata to draw 1-1. The Blue Tigers had though, won the second leg 2-0.
