From Mohun Bagan SG's Bench To Chennaiyin FC's Backbone: The Rise Of Hnamte
Not every footballer’s journey follows a straight path and for midfielder Hnamte, it’s been a winding road. Once a benchwarmer at Mohun Bagan Super Giant, Hnamte has evolved into one of Chennaiyin FC’s most reliable players this season, embodying the spirit of a player who still has a lot to prove. As he prepares to take on his former club in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Tuesday, here’s a look at the rise of one of the finest young midfielders in the league.
