Hitesh Sharma has been a solid presence in midfield for playoff contenders Hyderabad this season...
Hitesh Sharma made just four appearances in the 2015-16 edition of I-League and had only four starts in the following season.
He was a teenager looking to play more games and hoped a move to Indian Super League (ISL) club ATK would be the turning point. But after two seasons at the Kolkata-based club, he had to leave looking for first-team minutes.
The 2020-21 season of ISL, under the head coach Manuel Marquez, has now become the big break Hitesh has been waiting for all his professional career.
