When Sandesh Jhingan signed for Kerala Blasters at the age of 21, all he wanted was to make a statement.
He had played for a few teams in the I-League but the ambitious youngster wanted to prove that he can take his game to the next level. Six seasons with Kerala Blasters and now he is set to leave the club having made a remarkable impact on the supporters and also on his own professional career.
Despite the heartbreaking defeats, poor recent results and a revolving door of managers, Jhingan was a constant at the club.
