Defence
Cedric Hengbart, Sandesh Jhingan, Gurwinder Singh, Lalruathara
Sandesh Jhingan and Cedric Hengbart in the centre of the defence will be a very hard rock for the opposition strikers to break.The Frenchman has an impressive 106 interceptions to his name in all the three seasons he has played in ISL (2 for Kerala Blasters and 1 for Northeast). Jhingan, the Indian Puyol, who is a brave tackler will be equivalent to a foreign defender.
Along with them Gurwinder Singh and Lalruathara will be wing-backs. Gurwinder won't give the opposition wingers enough space with his strong physique. And Lalruathara, who became a crucial part of the team this season will keep close and tackle the ball from opponents. He's too quick and has 85 tackles in just 17 games he has played for the team in this season.
