Sunil Chhetri Scored 4 goals against Pakistan
Agar aapne India aur Pakistan ke beech khela gaya SAFF Championship ka match Bengaluru mein dekha ho, toh ek naam zaroor yaad aayega. Haan, hum baat kar rahe hai apne captain Sunil Chhetri ki. Jab India ne Pakistan ko 4-0 se haraya, toh 3 goals Chhetri bhai ki aur se aaye, jo apne example se lead kar rahe the aur Pakistan ke liye asli pareshani ban gaye the.
Indian football ke deepak ko lekar Lekin sach kahu toh yeh koi chaukaane waali baat nahi hai. Haan, Chhetri bhai ne behtareen game mein lagbhag 18 saal se Indian football ka sitaara bana rakha hai. Cricket se besabri se pyaar karne wale desh mein, Chhetri bhai hi hai woh aawaz jo desh ke liye support karne waalon ke saath khade rehte hai. Bhaichung Bhutia ne apne football ke Career ko 2011 mein taale laga diye the, tab se Chhetri bhai ne samne se team ko sambhala hai.
Jab baat aati hai goals banane ki, Chhetri bhai bilkul kamaal ke hai har tarah se. Woh ek machine hai jo goal ki taraf jaane mein mahir hai, aur 38 saal ke hone ke bawjood woh mauka banane ki Capability rakhte hai. Chhetri bhai ko nimble footwork, behad tej raftar aur taqatwar thighs ki den hai, jiski wajah se woh opposition ke defenders ke liye ek khaufnak sapna ho sakte hai. Uske shaitaani dribbling skills ki toh baat hi mat karo, woh duniya ke top players se bhi takkar le sakte hai. Agar Chhetri bhai ek aise desh mein paida hue hote jahan football ek bada khel hota, toh unki kabilatein aur bhi behatar hoti, isme koi shaq nahi hai.
Ek goal ki machine
Statistics poori kahaani toh nahi bataati, lekin jhooth bhi nahi bolti. Chhetri bhai ne 138 international matches mein 90 goals banaye hai. Jab baat hoti hai sabse zyada goals banane wale international men’s football ke all-time list ki, toh yeh banda kaafi upar hai. Haan, woh 100 goals ka lakshya ab door nahi hai, jise ab tak sirf 3 khiladiyon ne paaya hai. Is samay Chhetri bhai overall list mein 4th position par hai. Jab active players ki baat aati hai, toh Chhetri bhai 3rd position par hai. Aur guess karo top 2 spots kiske paas hai? Cristiano Ronaldo jo 123 goals ke saath pehle number par hai aur Lionel Messi jo 103 goals ke saath dusre number par hai.
Ek aur dilchasp tathy ye hai ki jab baat aati hai international goals banane ki, toh Chhetri bhai actually Ronaldo aur Messi se consistent tareeke se banate hai. Hum mazak nahi kar rahe hai, yeh sach hai aur humare paas iss baat ko sabit karne ke numbers bhi hai. Chhetri bhai ki average hai 0.65 goals per game. Ronaldo ka ratio 0.62 hai jabki Messi ka aur bhi kam hai, 0.59. Dusre shabdon mein, Chhetri bhai duniya ke 2 sabse acche footballers se bhi regular tareeke se zyada goals banate hai.
Sabse acche ke saath upar tak Haan, log opposition ki quality aur Chhetri bhai ke khelte hue games ki prakar par bahas kar sakte hai, khaas kar jab India top 100 mein bhi nahi hai. Lekin humein yaad rakhna chahiye ki woh opposition ke saath khel rahe hai jo unko diya gaya hai, woh khud apne opponents ko chun nahi rahe hai. Isliye, international level par unki performance certainly at par hai, agar nahi toh behtar hai, duniya ke 2 mahan khiladiyon se. Agar Chhetri bhai 100-goal mark ko paar karte hai aur Ali Daei jo 109 goals banaye hai unse bhi aage badte hai, toh woh 2nd position pe aa sakte hai. Lekin samay unke saath nahi hai. Jabki Messi iss saal 37 saal ka hojayenge, tab Chhetri bhai 39 saal ke hojayenge aur unse bahut door Ronaldo toh abhi 38 saal ke hai. Toh shayad humein in teeno mein se zyada international football dekhne ko milna mushkil hoga. Daei, jo pehle 100 international goals banane wale the aur ek samay mein list ke No. 1 the, woh retire ho chuke hai bahut pehle se.
Chhetri bhai apne team par dalne wale asar aur unki khiladi ke roop mein mahatva dekh kar, unhe ek Legend khiladi kehna better hoga. Haan, unhe ek legend ke roop mein sammanit karna koi badi baat nahi hogi. Ek desh mein jahan football mein haal hi mein mushkil se jujh raha hai, Chhetri bhai tunnel ke anth mein ek roshni hai. Woh apne career ke asmanjas ke dauran hai, lekin jaise kehte hai, agni sabse tej jalti hai jab woh bujhne ke qareeb hoti hai. Toh shayad, hum Chhetri bhai ka sabse accha abhi tak nahi dekh chuke hai. Indian fans toh certainly yahi ummeed karte hai.
Story of the legend
Jab yeh aadmi apne career par parda dalenge, toh unki warisi ladai karne wale aur ek vyakti ke roop mein yeh hoga ki woh apne puri takat se team ke liye ladte rahe. Chhetri bhai ek legend hai aur unki jagah Bharatiya football ki itihaas mein humesha bani rahegi. Jab baat aati hai International football mein, toh Chhetri bhai ne apna haq banaya hai ki woh sabse behtareen khiladiyon ke beech mein shaamil ho. Agar ek World XI ka chunav kiya jaye abhi ke sabse acche khiladiyon ke beech se, toh koi shaq nahi hai ki Chhetri bhai ko bhi mauka mil sakta hai.
