Defending champions Kuwait will be on their way to India’s ninth title in the SAFF Championship football final. The final to be played at the Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru today will see the home crowd supporting the Indian team. Not only this, the positive side is also that the team will get the support of defender Sandesh Jhingan. He did not play in the semi-final against Lebanon after being shown two yellow cards. The Indian team will once again rely heavily on skipper Sunil Chhetri, who has scored five goals in the tournament so far.
