The Kerala Blasters after a change of its ownership resulting in the potential departure of Cricketing Legend Sachin Tendulkar would hope to put up a rejuvenated performance in the upcoming Indian Super League (ISL). There have been reports floating around that Lulu International headed by Yusuff Ali are all set to buy the stakes owned by the Bharat Ratna recipient.
Blasters have not managed to win a single title so far and have only managed to finish as runners-up in the 2014 and 2016 editions, ending up second best to ATK on both the occasions. Hence, the franchise side has never able to reflect it's fan prowess on the pitch.
With a perfect mix of local talents, experienced Indian campaigners and promising overseas inputs into the squad, the club with arguably the most number of fans in India are serious contenders for the title if everything falls in place. The fans are hopeful of a good performance with fan favourite David James at the helm.
