Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem has been India’s best player so far in the World Cup. Despite conceding 5 goals in two matches, there is something about this lanky goalkeeper that has everyone talking about him.

He had impressed against the USA, and against Colombia, he was once again the star performer for the Boys in Blue. The Colombians, known for their long-range shooting, were eager to test the shot-stopper early and were unleashing powerful shots on goal throughout the match.

But Dheeraj was up to the task. He thwarted the South American opponents time and again, fisting away the efforts from distance and charging out to make crucial interceptions and clearances. If there is anyone in the Indian team who has seriously impressed any scout, then it has to be Dheeraj.
