On Kuwait's ranking

India coach Igor Stimac, who is back on the sidelines today, claims that Kuwait should be ranked 75-80, but that they are actually ranked close to 150 is actually because they were banned by FIFA multiple times.

In any case, tonight's match is set to be the toughest test for India in a while. They last lost in September last year to Vietnam. They have been on an unbeaten streak since then, which also includes a 8-match clean sheet streak. Let's see if that stays intact!
