#3 Surinder Singh (U Mumba) - Rs 6 lakh
Once again, we have another U Mumba player in this list and this time, it's a young defender in the form of Surinder Singh, who has been quite a revelation in the league's initial weeks. The 19-year-old was bought for just Rs 6 lakh at the auction and was part of the New Young Players list at the auction.
The side from Mumbai has some big, experienced names in defence in the form of Joginder Narwal, Kuldeep Singh and Hadi Oshtorak, but it is young Surinder who has shone through - scoring 31 tackle points in 11 matches.
His powerful dashes and advanced body blocks have been eye-catching and he has single-handedly brought down established raiders. While on some occasions he has shown naivety in his tackling, the aggression he brings to his side is certainly valuable.
