Indian soccer legend Sunil Chhetri is in elite company — of those still playing, only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, with 128 and 106 respectively, have scored more international goals than Chhetri.

Chhetri said this week that after 150 games for India, June’s World Cup qualifier against Kuwait in Kolkata will be his last before retiring.
