Not every centre-back can boast of having a goal-scoring knack and providing assists to the striker. But, then Rana Gharami is that rare gem who already has a goal and an assist to his name in the Hero ISL.

The 28-year-old became the first Indian goalscorer of the Hero Indian Super League when his long-ranger just before half-time left Vishal Kaith flabbergasted. Unfortunately for the Dynamos, the game ended on even terms as Diego Carlos equalized at the 88th minute.

The former Mohun Bagan defender also has 30 clearances from 6 games, backed up with 10 vital blocks and 5 crucial interceptions to his name.

Age is a very important parameter for making it to the national team. Those players are preferred who have age on their side so that the learning curve can be useful in their club career. Perhaps, that is the reason he wasn't selected by Constantine. Till then, he gets a place in our Unpicked XI.
