Jobby Justin is proving to be one of the standout Indian players in the 2018-19 Hero I-League. The Keralite is the leading Indian goalscorer, having found the back of the net four times in six appearances.

In the previous I-League encounter against Gokulam Kerala, he set up Brandon Vanlalremdika for the first goal before himself taking the credit at the 14th minute. Almost all the attacks from the Red and Golds came through him and, his partnership with Lalrindika Ralte in the first half was difficult for the Gokulam defenders to contain.

The defenders have a hard time tracking down his pace and unpredictable movements. Lalchawnkima and Kingsley Obumneme need to be constantly on their toes to keep Jobby Justin in check.

With the rumours of Enrique Esqueda missing the Kolkata Derby due to the injury he sustained against Gokulam Kerala being rife, the onus will be on Jobby Justin to score goals.
