#3 Veniamin Shumeiko

The Kyrgyzstani defender was acquired by the team to support former Pune City player and Churchill Brothers Captain Dharmaraj Ravanan. He always stopped the momentum through his defence and without him the team would have struggled. He combined well with Slovenian goalkeeper Uros Poljanec but the latter got injured in the match against Mohun Bagan.

He scored the winner against Mohun Bagan.

Fomer coach V. Soundararajan adjusted the defence and made him to play forward whenever the team needed a goal. His header against Mohun Bagan was one of the defining moments of the game. He was one of the best centrebacks in the I-League.
