Indian Football Round-up: Best and Worst of 2018 - Players

# Good - Sunil Chhetri

Sunil Chhetri is still the pivotal stay for Indian national team

Indian football has a single name - Sunil Chhetri. 2018 was again one of the years when that superlative has been extended. Sunil is the leading Indian goal scorer in the ISL 2018 season and carried Bengaluru FC forward even in the absence of Miku.

There is no doubt Sunil Chhetri is the pivotal stay for Indian national team. But the doubt and fear that every fan has is whether India would be able to replace Sunil with someone when he stops playing in the future.

# Bad - Jeje Lalpekhlua

Jeje Lalpekhlua had a forgettable year in 2018

Jeje Lalpekhlua was indeed the player who scored the only goal for India in the loss against Kyrgyzstan early in 2018. But after that, his performances have not been up to the mark. The ISL defending champions Chennaiyin FC who came to the ISL 2018 with almost an unchanged squad had struggled to find the feet and are placed at the bottom of the table. Though Jeje is yet to find his sniper skills back in the ISL, Stephen Constantine has got him on the flight to the UAE.

Hope Jeje comes good in the AFC Asian Cup as without his performances it would be hard to fathom a decent show from the Blue Tigers.
