About the player
Souvik Chakrabarti’s career started at Mohun Bagan. He has played for Kolkata-based outfit United SC. Also, he has enjoyed a year of playing at Air India. His career also has many loan spells to Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos. In 2017, the player joined Jamshedpur FC. After spending a season with the new ISL debutants, he made a move to Mumbai City.
He was at times used as right-back as well. However, in 2020, when he joined Hyderabad FC, head coach Manolo Marquez preferred to field in him the natural central midfield role. Chakrabarti appeared 16 times in the Indian Super League last season. In the process, he provided two assists for his teammates. The 30-year-old has played a total of 213 matches in his career till now. Three goals and three assists shine by his name!
