Chhangte was awarded the AIFF Player of the Year award for the 2022-23 season.

Having burst onto the scene in the mid-2010’s, Lallianzuala Chhangte has become one of the biggest names in the Indian football scene.

Born on 8th June 1997, the Mizoram-based winger made his professional debut with DSK Shivajians in 2014. Owing to his prowess, Chhangte also got the opportunity to play for the Indian U-19 and U-23 sides before making his debut for the senior national team in 2015.

In terms of club football, Chhangte played for Indian Super League clubs NorthEast United and Delhi Dynamos before making a mark with Chennaiyin FC between 2019 and 2022. A move to Mumbai City FC followed and since then, the winger has just gone onto another level.

The 27-year-old is currently the captain of Mumbai City FC. The nation expects him to take over the goalscoring responsibilities for the Indian national football team from Sunil Chhetri.

Here is the list of all trophies and individual honours won by Lallianzula Chhangte:

What trophies are yet to be won by Chhangte?

Chhangte has already achieved success on club and international level. However, there are a few trophies that are still elusive to the player at the club level.

The Mumbai City FC star missed out on the Durand Cup in the 2022-23 season, losing out in the final. To add to that, the Mizo-Flash is also yet to get his hands on the Super Cup that is hosted by the AIFF.

If Chhangte gets a chance to move to a club outside India, It will further increase his chances to add more silverware. Mumbai City FC are owned by the City Group and this could help the Mizo-Flash with opportunities abroad.

However, Lallianzuala Chhangte would have to keep up with his form to explore possibilities outside of India.
