Bilal Khan has held his ground firmly between the posts for Real Kashmir FC this season. The team from the northernmost state of India has only conceded three goals in their five games. Much of that credit has to be given to Bilal, who has three clean sheets to his name.

The 1.95m tall keeper is known for his brilliant positioning and using his height to the fullest to make saves. Even in the season opener against Minerva Punjab, he produced two fantastic saves against William Opoku to deny him in the 12th and 48th minutes.

A lot of players like Michael Soosairaj, Pandiyan Srinivasan, Robert Lakra, and Ricky Lallawmama jumped to better-paying ISL clubs after their excellent display in the I-League. Khan, a former Gokulam goalkeeper, can make the jump too.
