#3 Anirudh Thapa: The Creator

Anirudh Thapa held the midfield together and contributed defensively as well

The youngster has played a highly important role in holding India’s midfield together. His quick thinking and precision during India’s free-kick at the edge of the Kenyan box in the open minutes of the game opened the Blues’ as well as Chhetri’s goal kitty in the finale tonight.

This is not the first time Thapa has impressed in a match; in fact, he has been displaying some excellent football during the course of the tournament.

His ability to position himself in the right positions and releasing the ball with precision are only a few qualities that were put to show in India’s finale encounter against Kenya tonight.
