4) Mason Lee Robertson

The Scottish centre-back followed his father David Robertson to the I-League 2nd Division Champions right before the beginning of the season and it has been a good show from him at the heart of the Kashmiri defence. He made his debut in India for the Snow Leopards in the first ever I-League game of Real Kashmir against Minerva Punjab in Panchkula and helped his side contain the Minerva strikers to guide the team to a historic 1-0 win over the Defending Champions.

Robertson's ball distribution abilities has made him one of the most popular house-hold names in the Conflict torn Kashmir Valley and is a key part of David Robertson's plans for the season. His guidance and Marksmanship has made Real Kashmir the most defensively economic side in the league as they have conceded just 5 goals in the 9 matches so far, making Real Kashmir one of the toughest nuts to crack for the opposition. This defensive prowess of the Snow Leopards now see them standing 2nd behind Chennai City FC in the League Table so far.

Mason Lee Robertson can also play up front if needed giving more utility and versatility to Real Kashmir. The Scottish scored against Shillong Lajong in Srinagar in the 6-1 win. If Kashmir does keep on being defensive and tactical as they are for the rest of the league, it could certainly make them serious contenders for the League this season.
