Hat-trick hero Chhetri helps India beat Pakistan in SAFF C’ship opener

Sentinel Digital Desk

BENGALURU: A Sunil Chhetri hat-trick helped India to an easy 4-0 victory over Pakistan in its SAFF Championship opener at a rain-soaked Sree Kanteerava Stadium here on Wednesday. It was an underwhelming hat-trick – two penalties and a gift from the Pakistan goalie – but the skipper wouldn’t have minded, for the strikes took him up to 90 international goals, fourth in the all-time list.
