Tim Cahill is the flagship signing at this year's tournament and has joined Jamshedpur FC following his exploits in the 2018 World Cup in Russia earlier in the summer.

The Australian marked his appearance in four consecutive World Cup finals when he came on in the second half against Peru during the Socceroos' 2-0 loss in their final group game in Russia.

Cahill is also his country's all-time leading goal-scorer with 50 goals from 107 international appearances over the course of his 14-year long involvement with the national team.

The striker, who made a name for himself in the Premier League with Everton, has played a part in over 225 games in England's top-flight while also scoring 56 goals and setting up another 23 in the process.

The addition of Cahill will certainly bolster Jamshedpur FC's chances of nicking a goal or two in crunch games especially considering the fact that they were one of the second-lowest goal-scorers in last year's tournament alongside ATK.

Jamshedpur finished just outside the top four last season and will be aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in their history under the leadership of Cahill this season.
