Importance of Deshorn Brown

The Jamaican missed three games in a row due to an injury, but came back with a bang. He scored a hat-trick on his return to the starting XI. Sharing his thoughts on the importance of the player, Khalid said, “(Deshorn) Brown came last year and helped us and this time also he helped us after coming back from injury. He combined well with Mathias (Coureur) and helped us. Sehnaj (Singh) and Pragyan (Gogoi) also did a good job in the centre.”
