Roy Krishna on the verge of winning Golden Boot Award

Roy Krishna is on the verge of winning the Golden Boot Award in the Indian Super League.

Krishna tore up the ISL in his debut campaign last season, finishing as the joint top scorer.

However, he has an opportunity to make up for that missed chance.

In his second season in the ISL, Krishna has continued to show his worth, having netted 14 goals for ATK Mohun Bagan and is currently the joint highest scorer.

All he has to do is score a goal against Mumbai City in the final at the Fatorda Stadium tomorrow morning.

At this stage, Goa’s Igor Angulo is winning the Golden Boot, courtesy of having played a few minutes less. But a goal in the final from Krishna will see him winning that award.

Krishna says he will try his best. He says from day one, it’s all about the team and if he wins the Golden Boot, it will be a bonus.

Very few players have been as influential for their team as Krishna has been for Bagan.

Out of their 31 goals this season, the forward has had a hand in 22 of them, highlighting his importance to the Kolkata side.

The 33-year-old Fijian has rarely missed a minute in his two seasons in the ISL.

He has played 43 games and scored 29 goals along with 13 assists.

Former Shillong Lajong manager Pradhyum Reddy says given the length he had to go through quarantining for 40 days in Fiji and Australia before coming to India, it shows the kind of professional he is.

ATK will face Mumbai City at 2am tomorrow in the ISL final.
