The captain of the Blues has been the only player in the club's history to win the top scorer award.

Bengaluru Football Club came together to celebrate yet another successful season, and reward top performers at the club’s Annual Awards Night, held at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Bengaluru, on Sunday. Defender Rahul Bheke was named the Players’ Player of the Season and also picked up the Goal of the Season award for his headed winner against FC Goa in the final of the Indian Super League.

With 10 goals across two competitions, skipper Sunil Chhetri claimed the top scorer award for a sixth season in a row, while Juanan Gonzalez named the Kingfisher Fans’ Player of the Year, in a poll conducted online.

“I am proud of these players for the level of determination and resolve they have shown this season. We’ve had several injuries and suspensions, but this team has worked hard on and off the pitch to ensure that we are able to bring home another trophy. It was a fantastic evening to look back on the season, and to cherish the fact that we put another star on that crest,” said club Head Coach, Carles Cuadrat.
