First-timers Suhail Bhat, Nikhil Prabhu, Hrithik Tiwari Dream Of A Bigger Future In Blue Tigers Colours
AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers: Every senior national team camp is a home of dreams. Dreams of the first training session, the first step onto the pitch wearing the blue of India, the first cap, the first goal. In Kolkata this time, three newcomers resonate with that - Suhail Ahmad Bhat, Nikhil Prabhu, and Hrithik Tiwari.
Bhat, aged 20, the youngest member of the camp, was two months old when Sunil Chhetri made his senior India debut and scored his first goal. Now, the two strikers train together on the same pitch. It's perhaps impossible to find any young Indian striker who doesn't idolise Chhetri.
"It is surreal to train with Chhetri bhai, and have conversations with him. I always wanted to know how it feels to be with him," Bhat told the AIFF's website.
