As India prepares to take on Bangladesh in tonight's FIFA World Cup and AFC Asian Cup joint qualifier, it remains to be seen which Indian side turns up; the one which can play some really attractive and positive football or the one which tends to implode under pressure. Against a team that is ranked 184 in the world, nothing but a win will do for the Blue Tigers and the entire nation is hopeful that tonight will mark the beginning of India's resurgence after a rather difficult 18 months.
Get all the updates from the game at the tap of a finger right here on our LIVE BLOG, from the team news till the time the referee blows the final whistle. Kick off is at 7:30 pm but we will go live as soon as the teams are out.
Stay tuned....
