The ex-Pune FC forward put on a memorable performance in FC Goa's 7-0 triumph over Mumbai City. It was a record of sorts; he became the first Indian to score a hat-trick in ISL without a penalty. Also the U-23 international became the player who netted the 100th goal in ISL 2015; a special thing in itself. He makes our list over Dudu Omagbemi for two reasons: firstly, he started the scoring which helped unsettle the Mumbai defence and open up the floodgates. Second: this announces the 22-year-old's bid for a national team debut. A very useful utility player, he has pace and skill and sooner or later he will get his place among the Blue Tigers.
