ISL Team of the League Stages
The league stage of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) came to an end with FC Goa, Atletico de Kolkata, Chennaiyin FC and Delhi Dynamos earning the right to battle it out for the ultimate crown by qualifying for the semi-finals of the ISL. These four teams were the best four units in the ISL, but there were other individual performances which made a mark in this season’s Indian Super League.With the league season behind us, we take a look back at those who impressed us with their performances this season in our Team of the Group Stages of the ISL Season Two. The team takes shape in a 4-4-2 formation and we also have seven substitutes.
#1 Goalkeeper
Rehenesh TP (NorthEast United)
The young Indian goalkeeper has once again had a fantastic season in goal for NorthEast United and has justified the claim of him being one of the brightest talents in the country. Rehenesh was once again in top form and put in some heroic performances as the Highlanders scored a double over defending Champions Atletico de Kolkata, without conceding a goal in reply.
The man from Kerala helped a young team tremendously with his solid performances in goal and gave his defence a great deal of confidence with his shot-stopping and command. With 47 saves and 4 cleansheets in the matches that he played during the group stages, Rehenesh proved exactly why he is rated so highly.
For his consistently stunning performances in goal, Rehenesh TP has earned a place in our Team of the League Stages of the ISL.
