The coach added that the players need to compete for national team positions with their performances.
"I am very happy about young Roshan Singh who confirmed he is a future Indian star — not just in the Hero Indian Super League, but also at the international stage," Stimac stated. "It was a good day for all the boys to gain the experience. They all did well and they need to keep competing for their positions in the national team," the coach added.
India had conceded a penalty early in the first half which was saved diving to his left by captain and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. "I looked at the coach, and he pointed me to the left. I was lucky enough to save it," Gurpreet informed.
