At just 22-years-old, Nishu Kumar had already won all the major trophies in Indian football. He won the I-League, Federation Cup and the Indian Super League (ISL) playing for Bengaluru FC and recently made the decision to move on.
Naturally, a section of the football fanbase in India questioned the move, especially because he was moving from a successful club to a team that has been meddling with mediocrity in the last few years. But Nishu wanted to challenge himself, to show the world that he can be a crucial part of an ambitious new project at Kerala Blasters.
