#1 Robin Singh
This name is sure to raise some eyebrows but one look at his goal scoring record in the Kolkata derby will quell the sceptics. The brawny striker has five goals in this fixture, which is more than any other Indian player in the current decade. He might not be the most skillful of the current crop but his imposing physique brings that extra edge to the table.
The derby will be the platform for the Noida boy to prove his mettle and settle the scores for good. This is the opportunity for the ex-Tata Football Academy product to make his case for proving himself to be the best Indian striker in recent times. With selection for the national team looming ahead, this fixture can prove to be the springboard, the 26-year-old needs to seal his place.
