#1 Jeje Lalpekhlua (Chennaiyin FC)

Will Chennaiyin fans get to see Jeje's trademark celebration this season?

Scoring no goals in 11 matches does not justify the nickname of 'Mizo Sniper.' Yes, Jeje Lalpekhlua has been going through a goal drought in the ISL. The 28-year-old could only manage 7 shots in the 11 matches he played for Chennaiyin FC this season.

However, the Hnahthial-born played scored a goal in India's 4-1 win against Thailand in the opening match of the Asian Cup. Even though the Blue Tigers were eliminated as a result of back to back defeats in the remaining two group games, Jeje would be delighted to have finally found the back of the net.

Jeje played a total of 102 minutes during the Asian Cup. Questions will still be asked on his ability unless he makes a strong comeback after the break and finds his name on the scoresheet in at least a few of the remaining 8 matches in the group stage.
