Top five all-time top scorers for Bengaluru FC

A list featuring the all-time leading scorers for Bengaluru FC in the ISL.

Since their entry into the Indian Super League (ISL) during the 2017–18 season, Bengaluru FC have established themselves as one of the most consistent and competitive clubs in Indian football. A club known for their passionate fanbase, disciplined approach, and structured gameplay, the Blues have enjoyed considerable success, including an ISL title during the 2018–19 season and regular playoff appearances.

At the heart of Bengaluru FC’s identity and success in the league has been the plethora of attacking talents who delivered in key moments and carried the scoring burden with flair and their potency in front of goal.

Let us look at the club’s top five all-time leading scorers, whose contributions have shaped the club’s rich legacy in the ISL:

5. Udanta Singh – 11 Goals

The FC Goa winger kicks off this top scorers list with 11 goals during his time with the Blues. A product of the club’s long-term vision, Udanta rose through the ranks to become one of India’s most exciting young talents.

A player blessed with blistering pace and ability to stretch defences gave Bengaluru FC a direct threat on the wings for several seasons. While not always prolific, Udanta’s contribution in terms of assists, build-up play, and game-changing moments made him an indispensable member of the squad during the club’s early ISL campaigns.

4. Javi Hernandez – 12 Goals

The Spaniard joined Bengaluru FC ahead of the 2022–23 season and quickly became a vital cog in midfield and attack. With 12 goals, Javi has shown that he is more than just a creator — he’s also a reliable scorer, especially from set-pieces and late runs into the box.

A player who also showed leadership, calmness on the ball, and an eye for goal made him a vital presence in the team. While he continues to be a key player for Jamshedpur FC, his time with the Blues was a fruitful spell.

3. Cleiton Silva – 16 Goals

The Brazilian forward brought flair and versatility to Bengaluru FC’s attack during his two-season spell from 2020 to 2022 in the iconic Blues jersey. He netted 16 goals, often stepping up during difficult spells for the club.

Cleiton’s ability to play across the front line, combined with his set-piece prowess, added a new dimension to the Blues’ offence. Though his time with the club didn’t yield any silverware, Cleiton Silva’s work rate, creativity, and moments of brilliance kept Bengaluru FC competitive and provided fans with plenty to cheer during his tenure.

2. Miku – 20 Goals

The Venezuelan striker Miku, who played two seasons between 2017–2019 with the club, may have had a short stint, but his impact was monumental. With 20 goals in just 32 appearances for the Blues, Miku formed a lethal partnership with Chhetri, helping Bengaluru top the league in 2017–18 and win the title the following season.

Miku’s strength, intelligence, and finishing ability made him a fan favourite among the West Block Blues. He was particularly effective in transition and in the box, often occupying defenders to create space for others while remaining a constant threat himself.

1. Sunil Chhetri – 68 Goals

Leading the list by a wide margin is none other than Sunil Chhetri, one of the legendary attackers in Indian football. Since joining Bengaluru FC in 2013 and transitioning with the club into the ISL in 2017, Chhetri has been the symbol of consistency, professionalism, and leadership.

With 68 goals, he stands not only as the club’s all-time leading scorer but also one of the highest scorers in ISL history. A player known for his sharp movement, clinical finishing, and clutch performances, Chhetri has delivered time and again through bullet headers, clutch penalties, or late winners.

His most memorable contributions include goals in crucial playoff matches, while helping Bengaluru FC secure their maiden title during the 2018-19 season.
