In three out of five Indian Super League (ISL) editions, the end-of-season award for the 'Emerging Player' has been won by a Kerala Blasters player.
Sandesh Jhingan impressed with his stellar displays in defence in the inaugural edition, Lalruatthara was solid as a full-back two seasons ago and Sahal Abdul Samad's rise to fame is already well-documented by now. The club that has given chances to these Indian players needs a few more of the same mould to perform now more than ever.
