#3 Aaron Hughes
The 38-year-old Irish International was the captain for Blasters in 2016 as they reached the finals. Hughes had played for Newcastle, Aston Villa, Fulham etc before coming to India. The tall defender partnered with Hengbart at the heart of the defence and helped to neutralise any form of attacking threats.
Hughes joined Scottish side Heart of Midlothian for the 2017 season and the Blasters will miss the strong leader at the back. Hughes' role in defence has now been taken over by Indian national team centreback Sandesh Jhingan, who was handed the captain's armband before the start of the season.
