#4 Naorem Roshan Singh (Bengaluru FC)
The 2021-22 season has seen some fine performances from Indian full-backs, including the likes of Asish Rai, Akash Mishra and Hira Mondal. However, Naorem Roshan Singh's attacking prowess has been an absolute revelation this season.
Among defenders, Roshan has the highest tally of assists at seven. His ability to play on both flanks has also made him a favorite of Marco Pezzaiuoli. The 23-year-old played 17 matches and has 77 tackles this season.
Although Bengaluru FC failed to make it into the ISL playoffs, Roshan Singh's individual exploits make him a deserving choice on this list.
#3 Ruivah Hormipam (Kerala Blasters FC)
Not many Indian centre-backs have set the season alight with their performances. However, Ruivah Hormipam has been a player who has been sensational since breaking into the Kerala Blasters FC setup.
The 21-year-old has only started in 11 matches for Kerala Blasters, hence his inclusion might raise a few eyebrows. But once he slotted into that center-back spot, Hormipam looked calm, composed, and, most importantly, solid going into challenges.
In his 13 appearances, the young defender has racked up 49 tackles, 29 interceptions, and 64 clearances. The youngster was also adjudged the Hero of the Match in the first leg of the semi-final against Jamshedpur FC.
