SAFF Cup: The banter between Virat Kohli and Sunil Chhetri is simply amazing

 Indian cricket's Test captain Virat Kohli has congratulated the national football team and lavished praise on skipper Sunil Chhetri for leading the side to a record seventh SAFF Cup triumph. After that Sunil Chhetri promptly gave a witty reply back to Indian test captain. 

India exacted sweet revenge of their last edition defeat as they beat defending champions Afghanistan 2-1 in the summit clash in extra time in Thiruvananthapuram last night. 

Congratulations Team India for lifting the SAFF cup for the 7th time. That extra time winner from @chetrisunil11 was mind blowing! #INDvAFG

@imVkohli Thank you skipper,I'm certain our boys won't need any extra time to get the job done in Australia.All the very best.

The 27-year-old star batsman co-owns the FC Goa franchise in the Indian Super League (ISL). India, who had lost to Afghanistan 0-2 in the final of 2013 edition in Kathmandu, were clearly the better side in the final match although India came back from one goal deficit. 

We hope this bonhomie between top Indian footballers and cricketers continue in the future.
