Indian football icon Sunil Chhetri has decided to come out of his international retirement to help the beleaguered national team in the FIFA friendly matches scheduled this month, the sport's apex body in the country said on Thursday.
"Sunil Chhetri is back. The captain, leader, legend will return to the Indian national team for the FIFA International Window in March," the All India Football Federation (AIFF) wrote on its official 'X' handle.

Tripura CPI(M) leader Jitendra Chaudhury on Saturday alleged the BJP-led government in the state failed to deliver on its promises during its seven-year rule in the state.
Once considered a Left bastion, the northeastern state got its first BJP government in 2018.
"Prior to the 2018 Assembly elections, the BJP had promised to provide 50,000 jobs in the first year if it was voted to power. Now, its leaders are silent on it," Chaudhury, who is also the leader of the opposition in the state Assembly, said during a press conference.
He said the then BJP national president Amit Shah had promised to provide 200 mandays with Rs 340 wage under MGNREGA if the BJP won the elections.
"The party won the election but it has not kept the promise. Nowadays, an average of 40 mandays are being generated in the state. Job card holders are not getting payment on a regular basis even after performing their duties," he said.
Chaudhury alleged, "The BJP had befooled the government employees with the ..

The Naga Peoples' Front (NPF) on Saturday strongly opposed the proposal of simultaneous polls to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, asserting that it would undermine India's federal structure and lead to a "one-party rule".
Raising the issue of 'One Nation, One Election' (ONOE) during the Zero Hour of the Nagaland assembly, NPF MLA Achumbemo Kikon said it is detrimental to India, which is known for its unity in diversity.
He claimed ONOE would undermine India's federal structure and the autonomy of individual states, especially Nagaland, which was born out of a political agreement, with special privileges inserted under Article 371(A) of the Constitution.
He argued that synchronising elections would diminish the role of regional parties, which play a crucial part in advocating for local issues.
Kikon said ONOE could overshadow regional issues with national political narratives, especially from financially dominant national parties.
This shift, he said, would jeopardise the democr
