#4 Indian players' contributions
Arnab Mondal, Prabir Das and Pritam Kotal have been mainstays for Kolkata at the back, but their best Indian player this season was arguably Debjit Majumder.
The Mohun Bagan goalkeeper played all but two of Kolkata's games this season and was a steady player in goal. His excellence between the sticks ensured that Molina could play an extra foreign outfield player.
Debjit kept four clean sheets and made the all-important save in the penalty shootout in the final. That might have been a lucky one as it hit his foot, but it was a fitting end to a stunning season for Debjit.
Prabir, meanwhile, has been the find of the season for Kolkata. He showed the ability to play in both full-back positions, where he put in consistent performances all season.
The two young wingers, Abinash Ruidas and Bidyananda Singh, also had a terrific season for Kolkata. With such a strong Indian core, there is no reason why Kolkata cannot carry on with their success for a long time to come.
