Jitendra Singh had featured for India in the U-17 World Cup during their fixtures against USA and Ghana. The defender went on to join the Arrows setup and developed his career with the two seasons there.

Before the 2019-20 season, Jitendra made the big move to Jamshedpur FC in the ISL and has so far played 371 minutes in five matches. With an average of 31 passes per game and eleven tackles through the season, the Kolkata-born looks to be a part of the club's future. The 18-year-old has a smooth road ahead with Antonio Iriondo extending opportunities to his players regularly.

Suresh Singh played the World Cup fixtures against USA and Ghana and later plied his trade for Indian Arrows for two seasons. In total, the midfielder donned the U-17 national jersey in 30 matches.

Leaving Arrows, Suresh joined Bengaluru FC before the ongoing season and has played 119 minutes from five games. The Manipur-born player has also been appearing for the BFC Reserve side and is a product still under development with the club.

Playing alongside big names like Sunil Chhetri, the youngster is sure to make progress in the coming seasons.

Amarjit Singh, the captain of the side, has been the biggest achiever, two years down the event. The midfielder has already represented the national senior team and grabbed praise from the gaffer Igor Stimac.

Amarjit played two seasons for Indian Arrows, including a loan spell from Jamshedpur FC. The 19-year-old was all set to make his ISL debut when he suffered an arm injury during a national team practice session in August.

However, Amarjit has recovered now and played three matches for the Red Miners this season. He has made a notable impact with 117 passes and 20 tackles within a short period.
