Dutch footballer Rajiv van la Parra currently plays for English side Huddersfield Town in the Championship. He has Indian roots and was named after Rajiv Gandhi, the former Indian Prime Minister. Rajiv plays primarily as a winger but can also be deployed as a creative forward. He has also featured in the Dutch Under-21 side and clubs like SC Caen, Heerenveen and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Left striker: Prince Rajcomar

Prince Rajcomar, who was a part of the Netherland's youth team in 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship, features in the forward line alongside Van la Parra. The 31-year-old is a goal-scoring striker who plays for ACS Poli Timioara in Romania and has also played for the Curaçao national team. Rajcomar, whose family hails from India, has scored more than 100 goals in his career and his experience will also come in handy.
