Indian players now have strict diet regimens followed by disciplined training as well as off-season schedules. With the clubs getting serious about the game and investing in modern training facilities, a large pool of quality footballers have come to the fore for India.

#5 Udanta Singh
One of the most important and prolific names in Indian football for some time, Udanta Singh will be one to watch in the familiar blue of Bengaluru FC. Udanta Singh has featured in 39 games in the Indian Super League, scoring six goals and assisting ten times.
He has always been a pivotal member of the Bengaluru FC sides which won the I-League, Federation Cup, Super Cup and the Indian Super League. He has been a part of the Indian national team as well since 2016.
Udanta's quick bursts of pace always comes handy for the team he plays for.

Udanta combining with Sunil Chhetri and Ashique Kuruniyan for the Blues will surely be a treat to watch for the fans and pundits alike.
