Talismanic captain Sunil Chhetri has no qualms in admitting that India’s group opponents Australia and Uzbekistan are notches above his side in quality, but believes playing against them in the upcoming Asian Cup will be a marker to test the country’s level.

Drawn in Group B in the continental showpiece, India face Australia on January 13, before taking on Uzbekistan (Jan 18) and Syria (Jan 23). “It’s a massive tournament for us because we get to rub shoulders with the best in Asia. Teams like Australia and Uzbekistan are probably of the World Cup level, so you can test yourself against them. I must admit, of course, that they are extremely good. They’re a couple of levels above than what we play in the ISL, but at least we know what we’re up against,” Chhetri said. “What is sure is that we have improved in the last seven-eight years,” he said.
