The former Aizawl and Mohun Bagan defender got his first taste of ISL football this season when ATK came calling. He didn't disappoint Steve Coppell a bit as he denied Thoi Singh and Jerry Mawmingthanga any clear-cut opportunities in their match against Chennaiyin FC and Jamshedpur FC respectively.

The 27-year-old has 16 tackles, 9 interceptions, 20 clearances, and 9 blocks to his name in the five matches he has played so far. And, like his fullback partner in the Unpicked XI Mohammad Rakip, he has only conceded 3 fouls and didn't pick a single booking.

With Subhasish Bose and Narayan Das in the fray, a national team call-up for the Mizo isn't something which will happen soon enough. But, he is the first choice left back for our Unpicked XI.
