# 3 Sunil Chhetri - India
Age - 34
Sunil Chhetri is the most influential footballer in India and is the mainstay of Indian national football team. He has been part of the national team since 2005 and has been capped 104 times for India. What is more astonishing is the fact that he has scored 65 goals and is second best to Cristiano Ronaldo and tied with Lionel Messi in the list of highest number of International goals among active players.
He was part of the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, a disastrous campaign for India. Considering the fact that he is 34 years old and well might be playing his last AFC Asian Cup campaign, he would be looking to make this one opportunity count.
Sunil Chhetri is almost irreplaceable in the Indian national team and his contributions to Indian football are much more than what is available as stats on the paper.
Sunil Chhetri is another player who might be playing his last AFC Asian Cup in 2019.
