The nimble-footed Mizoram-born player has already scored twice for the senior team and is touted to be the future star of Indian football. He has been signed by Delhi Dynamos for the 2017-18 ISL season and with proper guidance, he can be the next goal-scoring machine for India.

A day will come when Chettri has to depart and it is going to be an emotional moment for the millions of his followers. With proper infrastructure in place, thanks to India hosting the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the AIFF implementing an effective grassroots program, we can now dream of numerous Chhetris who can make it big in the footballing arena. But it won't be a cakewalk, and to be the successor of a gem who carried the goalscoring burden for a long time will be an arduous task for sure.
