Bikramjit Singh has enjoyed a fine start to Hero Indian Super League (ISL) 2017-18 having become a crucial part of the Indian trio at the heart of Chennaiyin FC’s midfield. The midfield enforcer will be hoping to carry his good form into the second half of the season and consolidate Chennai’s position near the top of the table.
