Naorem Mahesh Singh was having his best season in the ISL. With seven assists in 16 games, he was one of the top five assist providers in the league and the only Indian among the top five. Given East Bengal’s season, Naorem Mahesh is one of the team’s most important positive takeaways this season. He excels at making good runs inside the opposition’s penalty box, floating in quality crosses, and making sharp through-passes. Going forward, if he focuses more on scoring, he will undoubtedly become a force to be reckoned with.
