Readers’ Ranking – 2

It is a fair shout to call Mehtab Hossain one of the most unlucky footballers in India. Once again, he was part of a team that fell at the final hurdle as Kerala Blasters lost the ISL final on penalties to Atletico de Kolkata.

Mehtab had a fantastic season, on a personal level. He and Mahamat Azrack were terrific in midfield and were among the primary reasons for Kerala’s mid-tournament revival.

Mehtab’s astute reading of the game and excellent passing range make him a valuable player for any team that he plays for. Given his experience, he was a fantastic asset for Steve Coppell as he guided the young Indians in the squad through the stressful situations that Kerala have encountered aplenty over the last two seasons.
