The sixth season of Indian Super League (ISL) kicked off to plenty of fanfare and excitement in Kochi with a game between Kerala Blasters and ATK. Blasters put on a spirited second-half show to come back from behind and win the game against a star-studded ATK.
Five rounds of games later, the ISL has gone into its first international break. The two-week break, which would usually be seen as affecting the momentum of teams, will be a welcome rest-period for the players, due to the injuries that have taken the centre-stage at the start of the season this year.
