India vs Kyrgyzstan Live stream: India will aim for their second win of the 2023 season as they take on Kyrgyzstan in their second and final match of the Tri-Nation Friendly Tournament on Tuesday. Winning won't come easy as the World No. 94 in the past has been a tough and physical rival to the Indians.

Kyrgyzstan played out a 1-1 draw against World No. 159 Myanmar two days ago and was a surprise result for many as the weaker Asian outfit played the long game of defending in numbers and remained patient with their chances. It won't be a surprise if India have a similar approach in the game as they beat the nation back in 2017 with a similar approach 1-0 as Sunil Chhetri scored late in the game to help India qualify for Asian Cup.

Their coach Aleksandr Krestinin is often credited with the team's success since he took the role in 2014. He helped the side recover from a ranking of as low as 201 to 75th. During their last couple of encounters with India during the Asian Qualifiers, they were ranked 135th but the way, Kyrgyz dominated the game across the two legs, the gulf in talent was visible. In the subsequent Asian Cup in 2019, where India made group stage exit, Kyrgyzstan made a last-16 appearance despite being clubbed into a tough group.

For India, coach Igor Stimac may make a few changes in the playing 11 with no new matches scheduled in the coming weeks. Forward Manvir Singh is certainly out of the game after picking up a knock and is replaced by Sahal Abdul Samad in the squad. The last game against Myanmar saw Anirudh Thapa return at his best in his preferred midfield position after having an average Indian Super League.

The midfielder also scored the winning goal in the game that saw Noarem Mahesh Singh, Mehtab Singh and Ritwik Das make their international debut. All three of them started from the bench and were introduced in the second half.
