Former captain Bhaichung Bhutia congratulated his successor Sunil Chhetri for surpassing his record and becoming India's most capped international player.
Chhetri on Wednesday made his 108th appearance for India, eclipsing Bhutia's record of 107 matches, when he walked out to lead the side against Curacao in the opening match of the King's Cup.
"I am extremely proud of him. Big congratulations to you Sunil," Bhutia said.
"He has been a great leader, and a great player for India. I hope he continues to perform in the manner he has been doing. You could always see the kind of commitment he had since we first met in Kolkata. His hunger to succeed always made him special."
