Indian Football Round-up: Best XI of 2018

Forwards

Sunil Chhetri (Captain)

Sunil Chhetri has been leading from the front for club and country

The team will not be complete without this man. With each passing day, Chhetri is ageing like fine wine. He never goes out of form. Whenever you need him, he will come up and do his duty.

After spending a stellar season with Bengaluru FC, during which the club reached the final where he scored, Chhetri is carrying the same form this season too.

The only Indian in the top scorers' list, Chhetri already has five goals to his name. His combination with Miku is reaping rich dividends.

The impact he lefts on the field is mesmerizing. Being a leader of the team, he always encourages his teammates, be it at club or national level. He leads by example.

Chhetri has scored eight goals for the national team this year and is level with Lionel Messi in the active goal-scorers list.

Ferran Corominas

Ferran Corominas has made goal-scoring look easy

Ferran Corominas just loves to score goals. Perhaps there is nothing in this that can make him other than goals. The season may have changed, but Corominas’ form remains the same. The Spanish player, who scored 17 goals in the ISL season 4, has already scored 10 this time.

His consistency makes him a nightmare for the defenders. He is a man who leads from the front and never wastes a single opportunity, even if it is half chance.

The attacking mentality of the coach also helped his cause. No defender has found a way to stop this Spaniard as Corominas made goal-scoring looks so easy.
