Being a solid outfit defensively is vital in football, and Sandesh Jhingan knows it very well. After being adjudged ISL Emerging Player of the Year of Hero ISL 2014, Jhingan has gone from strength to strength.His ability to anticipate and foil oppositions’ attacks is second to none. Racking up 176 clearances over the past two seasons, the Chandigarh-born central defender has proved to be too hot to handle. His tackling technique is also one of a kind. His denying Jayesh Rane from getting a clean shot on goal with a brilliant last-ditch tackle in an encounter against Chennaiyin FC in 2014 is still fresh in fans’ minds.Taking all that into consideration, it’s evident that the Yellow Army will look to Jhingan once again to dazzle on the pitch and give them a chance of lifting the coveted Hero ISL trophy.
