Delhi Dynamos haven't had the right start to the season they were expecting. But, Lallianzuala Chhangte's brilliant performance down the wings gives them hope that things can change for the better.

With a sudden burst of pace and staggering 26 crosses from 6 matches to his name, it is hard to figure why he has been left out as he could have been a fine addition to India's counter-attacking approach. Perhaps, his less contribution in the defence is the reason he has been left out.

It is surprising to note that Stephen Constantine had put faith on him earlier and handed him his debut when he was just 18. Chhangte didn't disappoint him as he came off the bench to score against Nepal in the succeeding game to become the second youngest Indian goalscorer.

But now, it seems as if the faith is lost. However, he becomes the second midfielder in our Unpicked XI.
