Mehtab Hossain
The midfield general has won several major trophies with East Bengal in his six-year spell so far but the I-League remains elusive. After struggling to mount a title challenge with Mohun Bagan in a three-year-spell, Mehtab suffered mediocrity in the first three years of his East Bengal tenure also but the appointment of Trevor Morgan as coach in 2010 revitalised his career completely as he became one of the best central midfielders in the country.
The 27-year-old, who has finished runners-up with East Bengal twice and third last season, has been appointed club captain for the 2013-14 season and thus will be eager more than ever to get his hands on the I-League trophy.
