The I-League ended back in April last year and the Indian footballers haven’t had competitive football action for the last six months or so. “I’m positively surprised with the talent and organization here. What is a matter of concern is the break from which they come back to play ISL as it’s a long one. It’s normal here but for me it’s not because in Europe you may have about a month long break....

“Of course Chhetri missing is a big deal, but I knew he’d chosen to be there in Bengaluru and we had to move forward. We were lucky in the draft with Balwant and we were satisfied with him.

Despite facing fraud charges, the 71-year-old prime minister guided his right-wing Likud party to the most seats on polling day.
