1. Komal Thatal - India
Komal Thatal made history by becoming the first-ever Indian player to score against Brazil when he netted against the Canarinhos in the BRICS U-17 Tournament in Goa last year. This diminutive playmaker, a product of Namchi Football Academy, has proven his abilities on the pitch with his smooth control of the ball and his goal against Brazil oozed class.
The nimble-footed forward aspires to play for a foreign club one day, and what better stage to announce yourself than in a World Cup hosted on home soil.
