#7 Bodo Baoringdao Jr. (Chennaiyin FC)
This 18-year-old striker from Assam has been making waves in the Indian football circuit. He was part of the five-member team to be sent to FC Metz in France for a training stint. Known for his clever runs and his combination of speed and skill, this young AIFF Academy Graduate is highly rated by former Chennaiyin FC coach Marco Materazzi.
He is one of the few players who has been playing an important role in all age group national teams and it is only a matter of time before he breaks into the senior team. Last season, he was excellent for Minerva Punjab in the I-League, where he went on to amass 10 caps and scored a beautiful goal too.
He is also the youngest goalscorers in I-League history and even his ISL teammate Jeje went on to mention that he is one of the stars of tomorrow. A fun fact about him is that during the ISL 2016 edition, Bodo became the youngest player to be contracted by an ISL Franchise.
