If anyone will be giving thanks to Nita Ambani for setting up ISL in the first place, it will undoubtedly be Kerala Blasters defender Sandesh Jhingan. At the start of the ISL 2014 most of the footballing world was unfamiliar with the name Sandesh Jhingan, but as the tournament progressed, Jhingan could be seen transforming from a local Chandigarh lad to become one of the hot young prospects for Indian football.

Jhinghan played a crucial role in the Kerala Blasters glory run in the ISL 2014, only to be undone by Atletico de Kolkata in the final. His physical strength and ability to read the game made him a tough defender to beat. His impressive performance in the tournament earned him a call to the Indian squad and since then he has regularly donned the blue jersey.
