China are ranked 21 places higher than India’s current best ever international ranking at 97.
The Sunil Chhetri-led team under the guidance of head coach Stephen Constantine had enjoyed a 13-match unbeaten, run which was interrupted by Kyrgyzstan earlier this year. This was followed by a wonderful outing in the SAFF Cup campaign where the team finished as runners-up.
Star will broadcast the match in English, Hindi and Tamil across the Star Sports network channels and OTT platforms Hotstar and Jio TV.
