#6 Daniel Lalhlimpuia
Trending
Daniel is touted as the next big thing in Indian football. His manager at Bengaluru FC in the first part of the season, Ashley Westwood has gone on to predict (while he was on a Star Sports show) that he will be the greatest Indian footballer ever.
And he has shown enough signs of that through the course of the year. He scored Bengaluru’s winner in the AFC Cup Round of 16 tie against Kitchee in Hong Kong.
Daniel is in good hands at Bengaluru FC right now too. He is under the wings of Sunil Chhetri and as a young footballer in India right now, nothing can be better.
He showed signs of his immense potential even in the limited period that he was in the ISL with Chennaiyin FC. He missed a large part of the tournament because of Bengaluru’s AFC Cup involvement.
In the games against NorthEast United and FC Goa, he was central to all of Chennaiyin’s attacking play – and the side scored seven goals in those two games combined.
The future is bright and if Westwood’s prophecy does come true, then we are in for some ride with Daniel Lalhlimpuia.
