#4 Gaurav Bora (Odisha FC)

Gaurav Bora became an overnight star when he scored a brace in the final week fixture of I-League 2018-19 to help his side Chennai City FC lift the trophy. Odisha FC took note of his talent and bought him in the transfer window.
The centre-back also played a pivotal role in the all-Indian defence line that defeated ISL clubs FC Pune City and Bengaluru FC in the Super Cup. However, he couldn't usurp Rana Gharami from his position in the starting XI. Gharami started the first four matches in ISL before Josep Gombau decided to field two foreigners in the centre-back position.
Diawandou Diagne and Carlos Delgado seem to be mainstays and with Mohammed Sajid Dhot also eyeing for that position, Gaurav Bora's playing time seems hard to come by.
