Kumam Udanta Singh wreaks havoc for the opposition's defences due to his blistering speed and acceleration. The Manipur-born winger is known to provide assists more than scoring goals but that has not reflected in the current ISL season. In his 5 matches for Bengaluru FC, Udanta does not have goals or assists to his name -- a stat the Tata Football Academy product will be highly disappointed with. The 22-year-old has 13 national caps and one goal for the Blue Tigers, which he scored in the game against Chinese Taipei in the 2018 Intercontinental Cup.

Udanta, just like Jeje and Balwant, has not had the best of form but shown glimpses of his brilliance. He can be a threat and everyone is aware of his ability to score goals every now and then. With Chhetri not there, Udanta will be keen to take it upon himself to find the back of the net or at least assist Jeje and Balwant in the game against Jordan.
