TOP 5 Fantasy Football Players From Mizoram

Mizoram may be one of the smaller states in India but even with a population of only over a million, it has produced many notable footballers. With the introduction of the Indian Super League (ISL), the growth of the game in the country has risen tremendously. Many formerly unknown footballers from the state got the perfect platform to display their football skills. Now, many of them have become icons for their fans.

While ISL tapped into the potential of football in the country, the fantasy sports brands introduced this game for players on a digital platform which turned out to a bonanza for the football enthusiasts. Let us now take a look at players from Mizoram who are fan favourites in the game.
