India made it to the Intercontinental Cup final when charismatic skipper Sunil Chhetri starred with a 81st minute goal against Vanautu at Bhubaneshwar's Kalinga Stadium on Monday.
India had earlier defeated Mongolia 2-0 in their opening match on Friday.
With six points from two wins, India are currently on top of the table. They play Lebanon on Thursday in their last round-robin league match.
Chhetri celebrated the goal by letting the world know that he is going to be a father soon as he slid the ball below his jersey and into his belly. His wife Sonam was shown clapping on the big screen.
