#2 Sunil Chhetri (67 goals)
The Indian Skipper, Sunil Chhetri, scored a brace against Thailand at the Asian Cup 2019 to reach 67 goals and overtook Lionel Messi's 65 goals to move second on the list of the top active international goalscorers.
The 34-year-old is regarded as one of the best Indian footballers of all time and is both the most-capped player as well as the all-time top goalscorer for the Indian national team. He helped his nation win the Nehru Cup three times along with two SAFF Championship and one AFC Challenge Cup.
His performances at the club level were decent as well and he was awarded the Hero of I-League accolade during the 2016-17 season. Chettri is also a recipient of five AIFF Player of the Year awards and he was also honored by the Indian Government with the prestigious Arjuna Award.
