#3 Jeje Lalpekhlua
Jeje Lalpekhlua is doing everything right with the ball at his feet at the moment and has emerged as the new poster boy of Indian football. The Mizoram born striker is the highest scoring Indian in the Indian Super League across two seasons with 10 goals and Chennaiyin FC will hope Jeje can replicate his heroics in Season 3 as well.
Lalpekhlua came to the fore in his time with Pailan Arrows in the I-League back in the 2010-11 season. He scored 13 goals in 15 matches for Pailan which made him one of the most sought young talents in India. Chennaiyin FC got hold of the services of the striker in 2014 and he scored 4 goals for the Super Machans in the inaugural edition.
Next season would go on to be even better for the Mizoram man as he netted six goals for the Chennai-based team, all from open play. His lethal partnership with Stiven Mendoza was integral in Chennaiyin’s title win in ISL Season 2. Jeje Lalpekhlua has grown from strength to strength and fans are hopeful that he’ll continue his rise to establish himself as the number one striker in India.
