The former India international has brought all his experience into play and has emerged as the creative ace for the Mumbaikars. With his range of passing and the ability to produce the final ball he's an asset for any team. He may not be getting any younger but the playmaker will remain a key cog in the Mumbai ranks for the rest of the season.

The Syrian midfielder was once again a key orchestrator in the win against Shillong Lajong. He will look to continue his fine form and propel his team to another win.
