#8 Rowllin Borges (NorthEast United)
Rowllin Borges was the malfunctioning part of NorthEast United in the previous season. The young midfielder, who has been with the Highlanders since 2016, forgot his basic duties on the field last edition, which was evident from the club’s position on the table.
However, Borges is back to his good old days - making tackles, winning possession and opening up chances for his team.
The Goa-born Borges has played 6 matches this season and has not been substituted so far.
With 2 goals already, he is on the run to be the most effective Indian midfielder of the season. The 1 assist at a passing accuracy of 83.9% indicates the crucial role Borges plays. He has done his work at the defensive midfield department, making 23 tackles.
Rowllin Borges has just developed into a sensational midfield maestro every club wants at their camp. The 26-year-old has played a crucial role in NorthEast United’s resurgence in the ISL.
