ISL 2016 : 5 Indian players who must be retained by their respective clubs

#2 CK Vineeth - Kerala Blasters

Kerala Blasters badly needed an inspiration which was provided by CK Vineeth

If Kerala does win the ISL this season, a major credit of that feat will go to the local lad, CK Vineeth. After an impressive performances for Bengaluru FC in their AFC Cup campaign, he returned to a struggling Blasters side who were badly in need of an inspiration. Though he failed to score in both the legs of semifinals, Vineeth managed to score five goals in six matches to help Kerala occupy the second spot in the table.

The Kannur born Vineeth played as a striker for Bengaluru FC but was utilised on the flanks by Steve Coppell for Kerala to accommodate the likes of Duckens Nazon and Kervens Belfort. Kerala's hopes rely on their local lad to give them the trophy that they craved for since the past two seasons.

Coppell must assure the forward to stay at the club next season too as the Blasters now have a settled look to their attacking unit as the team will benefit immensely having one of the most clinical strikers in the country playing for them.
