Odisha FC’s Shubham Sarangi was one of the best young performers last season in the Indian Super League (ISL). The youngster, who had joined Delhi Dynamos in 2017-18, was deployed as a right full-back by former coach Josep Gombau and the player impressed immediately.
Speaking to the official Instagram page of the ISL, Sarangi spoke about what prompted him to take football as a profession.
“When I got selected for the Indian team for the AFC U-14 qualifiers, I was 12. At Iran, we played four matches and I played in three of them.
