For the past three seasons, the Kerala Blasters have not had many impact players from India. Sandesh Jhingan, CK Vineeth, Mehtab Hossain and Mohammed Rafi are the only players who have had an impact in the Blasters squad.

For the new season, the Blasters have retained their stars Jhingan and Vineeth, and have also recruited some good young Indian players from the draft.

31-year-old goalkeeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury, local boy Rino Anto, 22-year-old I-League winner Lalruatthara, midfield maestro Milan Singh, Jackichand Singh and Arata Izumi are some of the stars that were bagged by the Blasters and all of them have the quality to get into the starting line-up.

Apart from these stars, the Blasters have bagged some local talents like Ajith Sivan and Prasanth Karuthadathkuni. This Indian contingent can surely help the Yellow Army clinch the title.
