Goalkeeper Niraj Kumar, who turned out to be the hero in India's goalless draw against formidable Iran in the AFC U-16 Championship, said Tuesday he was "confident" of saving the penalty.

Niraj, who saved a spot kick in the 76th minute, said that it was a "big challenge" to play Iran.

"I was confident that I would save the penalty," Niraj said.

"We were playing at a rhythm in the match and I had that confidence and the team support behind me.

"It is always a challenge to face Iran and we had to be on our toes defensively to put up with their swift forwards."
"It won't be easy against Indonesia. They have very swift forwards. We will stick to our strategy against them. We will give our best."
