Jassim Abdulaziz Al Jassim, the CEO of the forthcoming AFC Asian Cup in Qatar, says India captain Sunil Chhetri is "one of the best" players in Asia, and fans are buying tickets to watch India matches because of the star striker.

“Sunil Chhetri is one of the best players in this tournament and we have seen that a lot of spectators are buying tickets to attend India matches for that reason," Jassim told to the Times of India.

The Asian Cup in Qatar will witness many top footballers from across the continent, including established players like South Korean star Heung-min Son, and Premier League regular Kaoru Mitoma of Japan, who will be representing their respective countries in the tournament.
