#1 Sunil Chhetri (Rs 1.5 crore)
Undoubtedly one of the best Indian footballers of this era, the captain of the ‘Blue Tigers’ has proved his worth in the past and is continuing his great form in this season too. It is mainly due to Sunil Chhetri’s brilliance that Bengaluru FC has been the most successful Indian club in the past 4 years.
After making his senior professional career debut with Mohun Bagan in 2002, he has played for several clubs in India and also had stints with MLS giants Kansas City Wizards and Portuguese outfit Sporting Lisbon.
He has been with the Bengaluru based team since its inception in 2013 and is currently playing the Indian Super League. Chhetri is the all-time top scorer for the Indian football team with 56 goals in 97 games. No wonder he is the highest paid Indian footballer in the ISL!
