#5 C.K. Vineeth

All eyes will be on Vineeth tonight

Kerala's homeboy, C.K. Vineeth has admitted he is glad the team's first ISL game is against ATK. After all, last year's heartbreaking loss in the final will not be forgotten until they make amends.

Vineeth may not have the nimble feet that a world class striker usually possess but he's a hard worker and in football, nothing beats a man who is ready to put in the yards. More often than not, he has been rewarded for pressing high up the field. He is sure to give ATK's defenders a hard time off the ball.
