The Indians showcased an exceptional performance, not just in this particular game, but throughout the entire tournament. Igor Stimac's team consistently delivered when faced with challenging situations and high stakes, and they replicated that tonight.
Facing a formidable Kuwaiti side, India successfully dominated the game and remained undeterred even after conceding a goal against the flow of play. Lallianzuala Chhangte's crucial equalizer kept their plans on track.
When it came down to penalties, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu once again emerged as India's savior. With 19 characters already in his name, let him be known as Gurpreet 'Clutch' Singh Sandhu, as he continued to demonstrate his ability to come through in crucial moments.
Although Sunil Chhetri may not have been the best player on the pitch tonight, the captain deserves recognition for his exceptional leadership, which potentially prevented a few players from being sent off.
While the experienced war general showed no doubt in converting from the spot, players like Naorem Mahesh Singh should also be commended for their precision under intense pressure.
Udanta's miss mattered little to him and the billion Indian fans, as India secured their record ninth SAFF Championship victory. Upcoming tournaments include Thailand's King's Cup in September, followed by Malaysia's Merdeka Tournament in October.
Until then, let us celebrate this victory with joy.
