#5 Kean Lewis
Trending
The ISL 2016 saw a new star being born. He played for the Delhi Dynamos. Kean Lewis. He ensured that in a side that had the likes of Marcelinho and Florent Malouda, he held his own.
Playing on the left wing, his decision making was what stood out. He knew exactly where to dribble, when to pass the ball, when to press, when to back off. In addition, he also helped the left-back by tracking back tirelessly.
Lewis scored three goals in the ISL. But, his contribution to that Delhi side was much more than just his goals. He was among the best Indian players in the ISL.
After he completed his studies in the USA, he has come back to India and is now eligible to play for the national side. That call-up is not far away if he can keep similar form going in the I-League where he will continue to play for Mohun Bagan.
For Gianluca Zambrotta, Kean Lewis was a breath of fresh air, as he has been for most Indian football watchers. It is not everyday that an indian winger has gone about his business with as much confidence as Lewis has.
His confidence in his dribbling ability will help him wherever he plays, and one can only say that there is a huge amount of potential for Lewis to be the best attacking midfielder this country has.
