#3 Sandesh Jhingan (Kerala Blasters FC)
It was in the first season of the Indian Super League that the defender from Chandigarh became a household name.
The stylish footballer became an overnight sensation and a National team berth was inevitable, making his senior International debut soon after that.
Jhingan has emerged as a player in the past few years, making him India’s best stopper in recent times.
The Kerala Blasters’ skipper will be eager to prove himself once again in the glamorous league, especially with the captain’s armband.
Kerala Blasters FC has been performing well in the past four years, finishing as the runners-up on two occasions.
Jhingan has been there with the team throughout its journey, standing tall at the heart of the defence.
He is the most capped player for the Kerala based club with 59 appearances. Standing at a height of 6 feet 2 inches, Jhingan is a calm and composed footballer with nerves of steel, which makes him such an important member of the squad.
