#2 Rahul Bheke (Bengaluru FC)
Not every defender can play as a right-back, a centre-back and a left-back with equal meticulousness. But then, not every defender is Rahul Bheke. Indian football fans were frustrated with Stephen Constantine's 2019 AFC Asian Cup squad and Rahul's name was on the forefront of every fan's lips as he was omitted from the squad.
In the attacking department, he has 2 goals, one assist, 11 shots and 20 crosses to show for his efforts. Moreover, averaging 36.53 passes per game and having 964 touches to his name, the Bengaluru FC man isn't a mere spectator going forward.
And, like most great full-backs, he shows no signs of lethargy when tracking back. Managing a total of 40 tackles, 19 interceptions, 81 clearances and 28 blocks in 17 matches, Rahul is a complete all-rounder when the thought of a 'modern-day defender' comes to someone's mind.
