"Mahesh's cross was the turning point of match": Gawli

Saturday night was the night of firsts for both 'Mahesh's in the Indian team.

After a hard-fought but eventually routine 2-0 win over Nepal, India sealed their spot in the SAFF Championship 2023 semi-final with a game to spare. Gawli described it as a game of two halves, and rightfully so, as what was a blunt Indian attack in the first 45 minutes, transformed into a well-oiled offence after the break.
