Among the talent hubs that have emerged across Indian Super League (ISL) history, there has always been a greater majority leaning towards a right-footed bias. When compiling a list of gifted right-footed players, there are always a few names that immediately spring to mind.

However, there’s probably no surprise to learn that most of the names included are capable of winning games on their own or changing a game in the blink of an eye.

From clinical strikers to visionary playmakers, there are a few players who have not only scored and assisted but have also shaped the very identity of their respective clubs, leaving an indelible mark on the league.

Dimitri Petratos

A relatively newer entrant, Dimitrios Petratos, quickly announced his presence in the league and soon established himself as the X-factor for Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

Petratos blends a strong physical presence with composure in front of goal, quickly establishing himself as an impactful forward with a lethal right foot. Whether it's a long-range screamer, a precise free kick, or a deft finish from inside the box, Petratos’s right foot is a threat that keeps opposition defenses on high alert.

His remarkable 2022-23 season, where he scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists, and his continued form in subsequent campaigns showcase a player who has already cemented his place among the league's right-footed elite.

Roy Krishna

Roy Krishna’s impact has been one of relentless consistency. The Fijian forward, a tireless runner and a constant threat, burst onto the scene with ATK FC in 2019, where he scored 15 goals in his debut ISL season.

Known for his explosive pace and incredible work rate, Krishna’s right foot has been the source of countless crucial goals and assists. His time at ATK FC, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, Bengaluru FC, and Odisha FC saw him consistently rank among the top scorers and creators.

Whether it was a clinical finish from a one-on-one situation or a pinpoint cross for a teammate, Krishna’s right foot consistently drove his team's attack. His ability to score in clutch moments has made him a fan favorite and a true legend of the ISL.

Ferran Corominas

A lethal finisher turned fan favorite at FC Goa, Ferran Corominas’s intelligence in the box and seamless link-up with creative playmakers like Boumous elevated him into an ISL legend.

The Spanish forward arrived at FC Goa in 2017 and, in a breathtaking three-season spell, redefined what it meant to be a striker in the ISL. He wasn't just a goalscorer; he was a finisher of the highest order.

With an astonishing 48 goals in 57 appearances for FC Goa, he holds one of the most remarkable goal-per-game ratios in the league's history. His two Golden Boot awards and his role in guiding the Gaurs to their maiden League Winners' Shield cemented his legacy as one of the most complete and clinical right-footed forwards the league has ever seen.

Sunil Chhetri

No discussion of ISL's greatest players, let alone its finest right-footed talents, is complete without Sunil Chhetri.

At the heart of the ISL since the early days of ISL, Chhetri stands as a towering figure both in records and reverence. With 75 goals and 13 assists, he tops the league's charts in both scoring and goal contributions.

His right foot, from the thumping volleys to the calm penalty finishes, symbolizes years of hard work and an innate understanding of scoring, helping him script records with Bengaluru FC even in the twilight of his career.

Hugo Boumous

Not all right-footed greatness is measured in goals alone. Hugo Boumous carved a niche as the league’s most creative midfield orchestrator.

Across stints with FC Goa, Mumbai City FC, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, and Odisha FC he has amassed 74 goal contributions (35 goals and 39 assists). The French-Moroccan attacking midfielder, with his mesmerizing dribbling and sublime vision, is the quintessential number 10.

His right foot is a wand, weaving intricate passes, orchestrating attacks, and controlling the tempo of the game from the heart of the midfield.
