Anas Edathodika was one of the experienced players on the pitch for India, but he produced a poor show. The Indian defender was all over the place and struggled to cope up with Yaseen Al-Bakhit who was the best player for the hosts, and Jordan's striker Baha Faisal. Anas was caught ball watching during the first half, thankfully Faisal failed to connect with the ball.

He was second time lucky when he headed the ball casually to the goalkeeper in the first half, but Gurpreet read the moment and caught the ball safely despite Faisal's swift reaction. Yassen Al-Bakhit got the best of Pritam Kotal and Anas Edathokida on multiple occasions and ran over the Indian defence for the most part of the game.

It was clearly evident that Jordan was targetting the right side of the defense. After the injury, Anas has struggled to defend against pacy forwards.
