ISL 2016: Top Five Indian Players of the month

The ISL so far has been entertaining, and the Indians have been the shining lights! 

2. Prabir Das – Atletico de Kolkata

The 22-year-old from Sodepur has been brilliant for Kolkata in the opening month of action, The versatile footballer who is generally a right back has been playing on the opposite flank this season, and it's not just ludicrously blonde maggie-style hair that's making him stand out.

He's been rock-solid at the back – an integral part of a very impressive Atletico de Kolkata defence and the value of this jack-of-all-trades hasn't been lost on ATK coach Jose Francesco Molina

“I can play in two-three different positions because Arthur Papas made me play like that and I think I can do it. If a coach thinks he can use me differently in the team I cooperate.” He has been doing it at Mohun Bagan too - “I played as a right-back for the team in the I-League and as a right winger in the Calcutta Football League,” pointed out Das who doesn’t seem to think playing in different positions will harm him. “If I have to play as a defender I will attack less and concentrate on defending. If I play as an attacker I worry less about defending. I’ll just keep giving my 100 percent while I play”
