Karanjit Singh was one of the best goalkeeper in the league a year before. But, the landscape has totally changed after Chennaiyin FC deciding against bringing the old goalkeeper coach Tony Warner back. The England International's absence was one of the many reasons for Karanjit's downfall this season.

The shot-stopper has turned 33 years of age, but he is already showing signs of slowing down. Goalkeeper's primary objective is to stop the ball, but Karanjit has struggled in that aspect throughout the season.
The Indian International is Chennaiyin's first choice goalkeeper, but the complexion could change before the kick start of the next season. The Blues will be looking at a foreign goalkeeper like Apoula Edel who singlehandedly won plenty of games when the Indian outfit lifted the title for the first time in their history.
The board will be displeased with the performance of the goalkeeper this campaign and this would remain a tricky situation for the club.
