David Lalhlansanga: Answer To India's Striker Dilemma In The Future
FIFA World Cup Qualifier: David Lalhlansanga is the newest face in the Indian senior men's national camp. Out of the 27 players named by Igor Stimac for the FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Kuwait, he is the only first-timer in the camp. The 22-year-old striker had a sensational 2023-24 season with Mohammedan Sporting Club, winning the I-League and the Calcutta Football League.
Lalhlansanga was the CFL's top scorer with a whopping 21 goals, nine more than the nearest competitor, and also won the Durand Cup Golden Boot with six goals, including four in a single game against Jamshedpur FC. In Mohammedan Sporting's glorious I-League campaign, Lalhansanga contributed five goals.
"I'm so happy to be able to train with Sunil Chhetri. We play in the same position, and I've learned a lot from him. He has taught me many things like passing and positioning in the box. He's someone I've admired since I was a child," said Lalhlansanga to AIFF.
