Hoping to make the most of their recent surge in their fate on the international circuit, Indian football team take on Nepal in a friendly encounter at the Football Arena in Andheri Sports Complex where India's dramatic ascension to no. 100 in the FIFA rankings commenced last September with a 4-0 rout of Puerto Rico.

With India's vital AFC Asian Cup Group A qualifier against Kyrgyzstan right around the corner, national head coach Stephen Constantine would be keen to put his best available combination to test, though a few top players from Bengaluru FC and Mohun Bagan will miss out due to club commitments.

The most heartbreaking news for Indian football fans is that skipper Sunil Chhetri and the Bengaluru FC's Federation Cup triumph hero CK Vineeth won't be featuring against Nepal.

The two teams last met at the SAFF Championship in Trivandrum in December 2015, where goals from Rowllin Borges, Chhetri and a brace from Lallianzuala Chhangte helped India claim a resounding 4-1 victory.
