Minerva Punjab won the 2017-18 I-League much to the surprise of all. Following Aizawl FC's track, big clubs like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, and Bengaluru FC roped in the majority of the players from the champions. While the rest are struggling to find their mojo in their new club, Abhishek Ambekar has made the left back position his home in the Green and Maroons.

He has been instrumental both defensively and offensively. In the recent match against Chennai City FC, his partnership with Sony Norde in the left flank was difficult for Edwin and Gaurav Bora to contain.

Abhishek Ambekar has started all the six games for his side. If he continues his spirited performance, he might eventually shift to the ISL.
