#3 Jithin MS (Kerala Blasters)
The headlines of Santosh Trophy 2018 had the name Jithin MS all over it. The 19-year old winger from Kerala was the joint-top scorer at the tournament and was the hero for the champion side.
Jithin, who attracted attention after this, was offered a contract by Kerala Blasters and shifted houses from FC Kerala to the yellow army.
When the transfer happened, he became the first Kerala player to be signed for a club receiving a transfer fee. Blasters have high expectations of the young lad and is expected to be given a few opportunities.
Jithin was seen flying past the defenders in the various Santosh Trophy matches and was highly praised for his pace with the ball-at-feet.
The question of how the youngster rises to the top-class league can be answered, only after the game gets onto the pitch.
