#1 Sunil Chhetri
Having notched 56 goals in 97 appearances for India, captain Sunil Chhetri is among the top five active goal scorers in the world. Only behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Clint Dempsey, India's captain marvel Chhetri sits in fourth on that list.
India's all-time record goalscorer, Chhetri has never appeared in a World Cup as India have never qualified for the tournament. While the country prepares for next year's Asian Cup, in UAE, it will be India's fourth appearance in the biggest continental competition in Asia.
A quality finisher and top professional, Sunil Chhetri rounds off the list as one of the 3 players who holds the record for being their respective country's top scorer but at the same time has never appeared in a World Cup.
