Indian Football News : Best Indian Football Players in Current Squad for India's World cup qualifiers

#2 Anirudh Thapa:

India’s main source of creativity from the midfield department is Anirudh Thapa. The young midfielder does lots of running, but his preferred position is the attacking areas as he likes to get inside the box more often.

The 21-year-old was part of the catastrophic season with Chennaiyin, but John Gregory wanted him to sit back with the defence and dictate the play. It’s not fair to say that it’s not suitable to him, but he shines only in the attacking midfield position.

Thapa made his national team debut at the age of 19 and has established himself as an integral player under Igor Stimac. The Croat has not picked his starting eleven yet, but leaving out a talent of Anirudh Thapa would be absurd. He has won 21 caps for his national team and has scored two goals in this period.
