#4 Tiri (ATK Mohun Bagan)
ATK Mohun Bagan narrowly missed out on a berth in the ISL 2021-22 final after getting knocked out by Hyderabad FC in the playoffs on aggregate. But the Spanish centre-back has been the best defender in the ISL by some margin. Irrespective of who he was partnered with, Tiri held his own in the Mariners backline.
The Spanish defender has started 17 matches for the Mariners and has stepped in with 42 tackles, 51 interceptions, and 89 clearances. He is the league leader in the number of interceptions.
#3 Adrian Luna (Kerala Blasters FC)
Last year, Adrian Luna led Melbourne City FC to their first-ever A-League Championship victory. Naturally, when he joined the Kerala Blasters FC outfit, Luna had massive expectations resting on his shoulder. Now, with Tuskers just a step away from the ISL 2021-22 title, it's fair to say the Uruguayan international has not only lived up to the hype but exceeded them.
Luna has hogged the limelight with his vicious knucklehead free-kicks but his relentless workrate is what has given Kerala Blasters FC an outside edge in midfield. In 22 games, the 29-year-old has scored six goals, including the crucial winner against Jamshedpur FC in the second leg, and registered seven assists.
