India skipper and mercurial striker Sunil Chhetri played down the talks about his retirement saying he has not put any timeline for himself to bid adieu to the game.

Chhetri is 38 but still continues to be the spearhead of the Indian attack, evidenced by the five goals he netted in the ongoing SAFF Championship from three matches.

"I don't know when my last game for the country is going to be. It derives from the fact that I have never had long-term targets, I think about next match, next 10 days. It (retirement) may come at a day when probably I don't want to, as there are a lot of things, and I will be done. Till that time, I never think about it," Chhetri said on the eve of India's semifinal against Lebanon.

Chhetri, the second-highest goal-scorer from Asia with 92 goals, said he has set some parameters for himself to determine about hanging his boots.
