"I used to like Didika Ralte," Lallianzuala Chhangte revealed his idol during a media interaction before the Kuwait game

Group A's table-toppers India and Kuwait lock horns in the last group match of the Bangabandhu SAFF Championship 2023, at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru, on Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Both teams are level on points (6) and goal difference (+6) and have already qualified for the semi-finals. As such, the winners will determine who tops the group and takes on the second-placed side from Group B in the last four. For India, only a win will earn them pole position since they trail Kuwait on goals scored. Lallianzuala Chhangte, the magical winger, said on Monday that India should face Kuwait with a positive mindset in their last league match

Instructions from Igor Stimac:

"Coach instructed us to, you know, give our best, make the difference even when you come from the substitute bench, I think, we were doing that, after coming onto the pitch, but I think the lads were doing really, really well. Even in the first half, we couldn't play the way we wanted to. We didn't start the way we wanted to, but from the start of the second half, we did really well. And we were more aggressive than in the first half. And, yeah, I think we have helped the team. The most important thing is that even when you play from the substitute you make, you were able to make a difference. That's the most important thing," said Lallianzuala Chhangte when he was asked about what is his role in the team when he comes as a substitute.

Favourite Wingers & Idol of Lallianzuala Chhangte:

He mentioned Ashique Kuruniyan as one of his favourite wingers in the Indian team and also the 24 years old, Mahesh who has been excellent so far. "Well apart from me (laughs), the ones that I've played with like Ashique (Kuruniyan), Liston (Colaco), and Mahesh (Naorem Singh) are very good." When he was asked about who is his idol in Indian football, Chaangte replied, " I used to like Didika Ralte. He is a brilliant footballer, humble guy, can play with both feet, and can score from distance. I like him, I like him a lot."

Mentality:

Chhangte also opened up about the importance of having a positive mindset on the pitch. He said a negative mindset can hamper your performance and therefore it is very important to be positive. "I always try to be positive on the ground. It is very important to be optimistic on the ground because if you have negative thoughts or fear, you cannot play well. So, it is very important that you are optimistic on the ground," he said.

Team Performance & Preparation to Face Kuwait

Igor Stimac has nurtured and improved a lot of players ever since he has come in. The most impressive one has been none other than India's 'Golden Boy' Lallianzuala Chhangte. "We have been gelling up very well both on and off the pitch. The most important thing is that we have been able to apply on the pitch what we practice in training. That's really important," he said.

The Blue Tigers will face Kuwait in their final group-stage clash of the 2023 SAFF Championship. Chhangte said that the team is aware of how good Kuwait are as a team but they'll approach the game with the same, winning mentality.

"We are going up against a very good side and we are very well aware of that. We approach every game with the same mentality, that is to win. Even if they are highly-ranked or lower-ranked than us, we approach the game with the game mentality," he said.

This is Koushik Biswas, who will bring you all the LIVE updates of the KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 match from the web desk. 

KKR have struggled to get going in their first three games as they lost two of them. But, as they return to their home turn after two away games, they will be confident to make a mark at their own den. 

In the meantime, SRH, after winning the first game of the season, failed to win their next two games. Hence, Pat Cummins and company would definitely love to get back to winning ways.

Huge win for KKR!

KKR vs SRH IPL 2025 LIVE Updates, Scores, News, Images and Free Commentary: KKR thrash SRH by 80 runs | sportzpoint.com

Andre Russell delivered the final blow as KKR wrapped up a dominant victory at Eden Gardens. Harshal Patel attempted a wild heave across the line but only managed to send the ball straight up in the air. Russell calmly took the catch, sealing SRH’s crushing defeat.  

It was a one-sided affair, with KKR outclassing their opponents in every department. SRH’s batting lineup crumbled under relentless pressure, and their chase never gained any real momentum. The writing had been on the wall for quite some time.  

This emphatic win will be a massive boost for KKR, not just in points but also in net run rate. Meanwhile, SRH will have plenty to reflect on as they attempt to bounce back from this heavy defeat. KKR win by 80 runs.

Apr 3, 2025, 5:24 PM

Double wicket over from Varun!

Here’s the next part of the summary:

Varun Chakravarthy struck twice in the 16th over, tightening KKR’s grip on the match. Pat Cummins fell first, miscuing a slog straight to long on, leaving SRH reeling at eight down. Simarjeet Singh followed immediately, bowled through the gate by a stunning delivery that spun sharply back in.

With SRH down to their last wicket, Mohammed Shami walked in to join Harshal Patel. Chakravarthy nearly completed a hat-trick, but Shami survived. The required run rate had skyrocketed to 21 runs per over, making SRH’s task nearly impossible.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack continued to strangle SRH, with Varun and Arora leading the charge. Every dot ball pushed SRH further into desperation, and their chase looked all but over.

Apr 3, 2025, 5:23 PM

KKR closer to win!

Sunil Narine struck in the 10th over as Kamindu Mendis mistimed a pull shot straight to deep midwicket. Aniket Verma walked in and immediately made his presence felt with a classy boundary. However, with SRH needing 129 off the last 10 overs, the pressure was mounting.

Varun Chakravarthy joined the attack in the 11th over and removed Aniket Verma, who miscued a slog to deep midwicket. Pat Cummins arrived at the crease and got off the mark with a cheeky lap shot for four. Klaasen, at the other end, looked determined to take the game deep.

Klaasen took charge in the 14th over, smashing Narine for back-to-back sixes to keep SRH's hopes alive. However, KKR missed a chance to dismiss him when UltraEdge revealed a nick that went unnoticed. With the required run rate soaring past 15, SRH needed something special.

Vaibhav Arora delivered a crucial blow in the 15th over, dismissing Klaasen for 33 with a well-disguised slower bouncer. SRH’s chase took another hit, leaving Cummins and Harshal Patel with an uphill task. Despite some quick singles, the asking rate climbed to an almost impossible 17.4 runs per over.

KKR’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Arora and Narine, kept SRH in check. The fall of Klaasen all but sealed the game for KKR, with only tailenders left to chase an improbable 87 off 30 balls. Cummins and Harshal needed a miracle from there.

With the match slipping away, SRH’s batters struggled to find the boundary. KKR’s bowlers maintained tight lines, and the fielders backed them up with sharp work. As the equation worsened, KKR edged closer to sealing a convincing victory at Eden Gardens.

The story is almost the same for SRH, but they have a better NRR than KKR.

After many rumours and speculations, we will see a dry pitch at Eden Gardens, which will surely help the spinners of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Ajinkya Rahane and company will surely look to take the "home advantage" to restrict the batting lineup of SRH. 

However, SRH also has someone like Adam Zampa in their ranks, who can be lethal on this wicket as well,

What a thriller unfolded in the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur!

Jamshedpur FC struck a late winner in the first leg of the second semi-final to beat Mohun Bagan SG 2-1!

The Red Miner had drawn the first blood in the 24th minute with Javier Siverio's header. However, Jason Cummings netted a world-class free-kick in the 37th minute of the game to equalize it for the Mariners. The game was all square at the break, and despite salvaging many opportunities, both teams failed to score in the regulation time. However, Javi Hernandez fired a powerful strike right into Bagan's net in the first minute of the stoppage time to snatch away the lead in the semi-final tie.

Jamshedpur will be boosted by this victory and will travel to Kolkata to face Mohun Bagan SG in the return leg on April 7th, 2025.

Brilliant defending from the Goa skipper!

Edgar Mendez found himself in a lot of open space on the right inside the penalty area before delivering a grounder. However, Odei marvellously cleared the danger away, denying Williams from anticipating.

Bengaluru FC showed no mercy on Mumbai City FC in the first knockout match in the ISL 2024-25 play-offs, thrashing the defending cup winners 5-0 to secure a well-deserved semi-finals berth.

Suresh Singh Wangjam, Edgar Mendez, Ryan Williams, Sunil Chhetri, and Jorge Pereyra Diaz each scored a goal to run riot over the Islanders, stamping a clean-sheet as well.

Despite a tumultuous run in the league stage this season, Bengaluru finished third on the leaderboard, having bagged 38 points in 24 matches. The Blues secured third place due to better head-to-head stats against the fourth and fifth-placed teams.

However, head coach Gerard Zaragoza has a strong squad available for the semi-final clashes against FC Goa. Despite Vinith Venkatesh having suffered a knock against Mumbai, he might be available for the first leg. However, Bengaluru's second-choice keeper, Lalthuammawia Ralte, is still unavailable after suffering an injury in late February this year.

Bengaluru have not won a game against FC Goa in their last five meetings, and the Blues aim to change that as the first leg takes place at their home stadium.

FC Goa produced a consistent season, leading up to the second-place finish in the league stage with 48 points in 24 games, assuring a direct semi-finals qualification. 

The Gaurs will look to ensure a lead, with the first leg being an away game. They will also leave no stone unturned to capitalize on the second-leg advantage at home, but they need to continue their league-stage unbeaten record against Bengaluru this season.

Having played their last game almost a month ago, head coach Manolo Marquez will have a fully fit squad available for the first leg.

The Gaurs will have to be very well-armoured for the Bengaluru challenge, as they have gained momentum, but the FC Goa side are adamant to clinch their long-coveted ISL Cup.
