Sandesh Jhingan is widely recognized as one of the best players in India and since the start of the ISL, he has been adored by the Kerala fans. The defender was handed the captain's armband with the national team earlier this year and with his leadership credentials established, he is one of the leading candidates to captain the Blasters this season.
He has displayed remarkable levels of consistency in the last three seasons of the ISL, emerging as one of the best players to have come out of the competition. Making him the captain of the side will certainly be a bold move from the Blasters' management.
