New Delhi: India football skipper Sunil Chhetri has further elaborated on his retirement announcement that preceded earlier on Thursday. The all time top scorer of the country revealed that “it’s been a month” since he has decided to call it quits on his international career.

“It’s been a month. It started with a feeling and an instinct that it was time to call it a day. And it grew in me slowly and steadily every day. Finally, I reached this decision.
