#5 Alexander Romario Jesuraj (Chennai City FC)
If his first name suggests the great warrior, his middle name is of one of best footballers of the globe. How can one forget his wonderful performance in the 1994 World Cup, where he lifted the trophy?
Unlike his idol, Jesuraj plays more widely, right wing to be precise. If Vanspaul guards the midfield by moving up and down regularly in a match, it is Jesuraj who is given the authority to create attack from the right side. Chennai have a formidable attacking line-up where Sandro Rodriguez and Nestor Gordillo operate from the middle. But coach Akbar Nawaz has instilled another level of self-belief among the Indian players.
Whenever Gordillo is marked by the opponent or Sandro is off-colour, it is Jesuraj who creates the attack from right side. His darting and clever runs and delightful crosses make him an easy choice for any coach and Nawas wouldn’t mind giving him chances. During the home match against East Bengal, he kept Manoj Mohammed on toes every time and even scored the second goal, which proved to be the difference between the two sides.
