Kerala boy CK Vineeth enjoyed a very impressive season with Bengaluru FC in the I-League and AFC Cup this year. In the past couple of years, the forward has been growing from strength to strength. However, last season he took it up by a notch and impressed one and all.

In the league itself, Vineeth scored seven goals and ended the campaign as the top Indian goalscorer. His brace in the finals of the Federation Cup against Mohun Bagan ensured that his team did not finish the season trophyless and also guaranteed an AFC Cup spot.

For the ISL, the 29-year-old forward was retained by the Kerala Blasters, where he has become a fan-favourite in just the opening weeks. After his exploits for Bengaluru FC, there was never really any doubt that he would end the year as one of the top Indian strikers.
