READ: Brilliant banter on Twitter between Virat Kohli, Sunil Chhetri

India defeated defending champions Afghanistan 2-1 in the final of SAFF Cup 2015 to clinch their seventh title.

New Delhi: Following Indian football team's 2-1 win over Afghanistan in the final of SAFF Championship, Indian Test skipper Virat Kohli hailed the Blue Tigers and their skipper Sunil Chhetri for dominating the summit clash.

Kohli, lavished praised on Chhetri, who lead the side to a record seventh SAFF Cup triumph. 

Congratulations Team India for lifting the SAFF cup for the 7th time. That extra time winner from @chetrisunil11 was mind blowing! #INDvAFG — Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) January 3, 2016

It didn't take Chhetri long to come up with a befitting reply where he wished the Indian cricket team for the upcoming series to Australia in his own style.

@imVkohli Thank you skipper,I'm certain our boys won't need any extra time to get the job done in Australia.All the very best.

India, who had lost to Afghanistan 0-2 in the final of 2013 edition in Kathmandu, made no mistake this time. Jeje Lalpekhlua (72nd minute) and Sunil Chhettri (101th) scored for India after Zubayr Amiri had given Afghanistan the lead in the 69th minute at the Greenfield Stadium.

Stephen Constantine's men could have won by a bigger margin had the woodwork not denied them twice in the match.
