Jayesh Rane is the most deserving one to be excluded.He played really good in the box to box in final

Defence looks shaky and the new defenders lack experience so defence will be a major concern, Midfielders and forwards seem strong. Regardless let's hope the team performs well

Is it only me, or even you'll think that instead of SAS & Akash(who are also harbouring injury btw),Jayesh & maybe Sangwan should have been selected purely based on there form, nothing else.Are they waiting for the injury to turn more fatal? #IndianFootball https://t.co/morBxnSlER
