Oman vs India: Latest updates from the Indian squad ahead of their must-win WC qualifier

India's dream to qualify for a football World Cup is still hanging in the balance as the Blue Tigers have failed to win a single match in the four qualifiers they have played so far.

They are currently fourth in the table with three points to their name. India came from behind on two back-to-back occasions to pick something from the game. They last played against Afghanistan and will be travelling to the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex to play their next match against Oman. The clash against Oman is a must-win for Igor Štimac and the team if they want to keep their qualification hopes alive. The match is scheduled on November 19, 2019, 8:30 PM (IST).
