#3 Sandesh Jhingan (Rs 1.2 crore)
Sandesh Jhingan was the find of the Indian Super League in the inaugural season, since then he has always been in the limelight. The tall defender is solidly built for his trade and never gives an inch away to the opponents in his territory.
The Chandigarh-born received football training from St. Stephen’s Academy and also represented the state team. It was due to his impressive show for the Academy and state team that he got a call from second division I-League side United Sikkim. After playing for a year at Mumbai FC, he finally got an opportunity to showcase his talent in the glamorous ISL in 2014.
Jhingan’s performance earned him the ISL Emerging Player of the Year award that season. The following year he made his debut for the ‘Blue Tigers’ and is now one of the most dependable defenders of the country.
