Khalid Jamil backs Gurpreet after India's loss to Brazil, urges stronger bench performance

India coach Khalid Jamil stood by goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu following the team's defeat to Brazil, despite the Bengaluru FC custodian being culpable for two of the opposition's goals. Gurpreet was replaced at half-time by Prabsukhan Singh Gill.

Jamil acknowledged the goalkeeper's mistakes but emphasized the need for stronger contributions from the substitute players. The coach's backing suggests a measured approach to the loss rather than placing blame solely on individual performers.
