Three Underrated Players Of ISL Season 5

There is no denying the fact that the Indian Super League has transformed into a platform were young players can showcase their talent, skill, and determination. Over the last few years, we have seen a number of Indian players rising up to the occasion and carrying their team forward to the top of the ISL league table.

The widespread viewership and wide reach of this Indian Football League has urged football experts and fans to have lengthier discussions and interesting debates about both famous and lesser-known players. We have witnessed the rise of some local Indian players to national sensations overnight yet some players still goes unnoticed. Below are some of the three underrated players of ISL season 5.

CK Vineeth

The Kerala-born striker who is one of the integral members of Kerala Blasters FC is our first pick. Even though, he has a wide fan base in Kerala, the rest of the nation is still a bit reluctant to appreciate his game. Vineeth is the highest goal scorer for Sachin’s Kerala Blasters surpassing Ian Hume by a single goal. We hope that Vinneth’s willingness to give everything on the pitch and the never-say-die attitude will help Kerala Blasters to win more games.

Mehtab Hossain

The Indian football veteran, Mehtab Hossain who is hailed as the Claudio Makelele of Indian football is another underrated player of ISL. Mehtab who currently serves as the anchorman of ISL debutants Jamshedpur FC had served Kerala Blasters as a defender for the last three years. The defensive wall of Kerala looks a bit vulnerable without the presence of Mehtab Hossain. The team has also conceded more than a few silly goals this season due to the poor performance of Lekic-Persic and Sandesh Jhingan. However, Mehtab Hossain seems to be in incredible form this season too.

Harmanjot Singh Khabra

Harmanjot Singh Khabra has played a crucial part in crowning Chennaiyin FC as the ISL winner a few years ago. However, football pundits mention only the likes of Elano, Steven Mendoza, and Jeje whenever the subject of Chennaiyin FC winning the ISL cup is up for a debate. Khabra who is currently being used as a right back Bengaluru FC’s Albert Roca has amazed the fans with this breathtaking pace, ball control, and anticipations. Moreover, the defensive skills of this player also put him on top of the list of finest Indian players in the ISL.
