#4 Arnab Mondal
The Indian was the only domestic defender re-signed by ATK for ISL 3, and they had every reason to do so. The East Bengal centre-back has been a rock at the back for the Calcutta outfit and was one of the cornerstones of the defence as his team lifted the coveted title in 2014.
The former Mohammedan man has won numerous awards for his club sides and was also named as the captain of the Indian senior national team for the World Cup qualifiers against Oman in 2015 by coach Stephen Constantine.
Arnab Mondal has also just won a record-breaking 7 back to back Calcutta League titles with East Bengal, which further highlights his pedigree as a defender. With 141 interceptions and 54 blocks, Mondal will be expected to lead his team from the back once again as they look to silence the dynamic Jeje and the Chennaiyin frontline.
