I-League 2018-19: Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal- 5 Indian players to watch out in the Kolkata Derby

#4 Abhishek Ambekar (Mohun Bagan)

Keep an eye for the full back Abhishek Ambekar whom you will mostly find in the opposite end of the pitch

After guiding Minerva Punjab to the I-League championship in 2017-18 season, Abhishek Ambekar signed the deal with Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan. Needless to say, he has been an influential figure in the left-back position and, his battle with Laldanmawia Ralte can decide the outcome of the match.

Sony Norde rarely tracks back to help out the defense in the left wing, making Ambekar's job a much tougher one. However, he manages it with aplomb. Even when surging forward to help the Haitian in attack, he sprints back quickly to ensure that the left wing doesn't become vulnerable to counter-attack.

Since Khalid Jamil has taken charge, Mohun Bagan hasn't conceded a single goal and won back-to-back matches against NEROCA and Minerva Punjab. This Sunday, Abhishek Ambekar will ensure their record remains intact.
