With a career spanning two decades, Chhetri made his decision public through a social media video. The 39-year-old, who holds the record for India’s all-time top scorer and most-capped player, made his 150th appearance earlier in March. Despite his prolific career, he departs as the third-highest active goal scorer globally, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, leaving an indelible mark on Indian football history.
