Chennai City FC is known for getting the best out of their Indian contingent and transforming them into breakout stars. Soosairaj and Pandiyan were the standout Indian players last season with both of them plying their trade in the ISL now.

This year, the breakthrough Indian player for the team is Edwin Vanspaul. The 26-year-old performed brilliantly for his native club apart from the rare blemish he had against Mohun Bagan's Sony Norde.

The winger was moved to the right back position after Akbar Nawas took charge of the club. Prior to the game against the Green and Maroons, he had the highest percentage of successful tackles in the entire league. Moreover, he is also known for his brilliant vision as he has two assists to his name.

Edwin Vanspaul's partnership with Romario Jesuraj down the right wing is something the opposition defenders are wary about.
