You never know. During these friendlies I expect the teams to switch things around at halftime (including the keepers) and Sandhu has so far done okay in these friendlies.
In the end of his first year he is being considered as No2 for a top div club itself is a sign it is going at a good speed for him... if india calls him we will have a player with real playing experience and fitness level in out line up
yep he featured in all the friendlies matches of same level of his club ..yeah it will be very difficult to take place of ivorian but he will feature in their cup matches
