There is still a long time for the FIFA Qatar World Cup 2022 but the journey for many countries has already begun. On Tuesday, India hosted Bangladesh in their qualifying match at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Both the teams shared the spoils in the clash as Adil Khan scored the late equalizer to end the match at 1-1. It was a disappointing result for the Men in Blue as they would have expected a positive result from the match after clinching a draw against Qatar in their previous clash.
