Jeje Lalpekhlua wore the captain's armband for the first time in the 2018-19 season of ISL and didn't disappoint the gaffer for a bit. The Indian international finally broke his goalscoring jinx when rival goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu scrambled to collect his shot from just inside the box.

The Mizo Sniper had only one shot in the game but it had so much venom in it that it ended in the back of the net. Furthermore, Jeje helped Chennaiyin FC in their attacks with his passing. He made a total of 31 passes in the game, with an accuracy of 71%.

However, Jeje is still a shadow of his former self and needs to come up with better performances consistently. The fans are yet to witness his ability to hold up the ball and win fouls in dangerous positions. Now that he has found his scoring goals, maybe we can see that trick in the upcoming matches.
