Throughout his career, he has made 19 appearances for India and has scored 4 goals until now. Further on, In his ISL career so far he has made 88 appearances he has scored 15 goals and has a lot of improvement to do along the way.

During the ongoing qualifiers, Singh said “My job becomes easier when I play alongside top strikers. I just watch Sunil-bhai and try to imitate his calm in front of goal. At the end of the day, that ice-cool head makes all the difference. That’s education for me. In a match a striker won’t get a million chances.”

“There will be days when you will get just one chance, or maybe a half chance. If you are able to make it count, you have done your job. I also need to mention that I look up to Roy Krishna’s calm in front of goal. They are my heroes.”

“At the outset, I was an out-and-out striker. But a player needs to be flexible. Modern-day football is not just about sticking to one position and role. I have been playing on the wings – both on the right wing and left wing in recent times. I feel that has helped me understand the dynamics of a team’s attacking philosophy. It is a plus point for any player.”

However with only 1 match remaining in the joint qualifiers India just need a draw to qualify for AFC Asian Qualifiers 3rd round. Hopefully Singh will keep his head up and give India the lead they need.
