2) Subhasish Bose
Bose, who started his youth career at Pune FC, represented Sporting Goa and Mohun Bagan before joining Bengaluru FC last season. The left wing back was pivotal in Bengaluru FC's runner-up finish in the 2017-18 Hero ISL season. His exploits for Chhetri's men earned him a national call-up during the 2018 Intercontinental Cup held at Mumbai's Andheri Sports Complex.
Eventually, he made his debut in India's 5-0 win over the Chinese Taipei side. He started in all four matches for Team India and helped them claim the title in style, defeating Kenya 2-0 in the finals.
The Kolkata-born defender will don the Mumbai City FC jersey this season as he penned a two-year deal with the Mumbai outfit this June. With several star defenders not in the squad, the onus will be on the talented Bose to form a rock-solid defense at the back for Team India. The 23-year-old has all the credentials to excel at the SAFF Championship for the Blue Tigers.
