These unforgettable instances are characterised mainly by the heroics of the best strikers the league has ever seen. Here's a look at the top five ISL strikers with top-notch contributions!

5. Marcelinho

Marcelo Lite Pereira, or 'Marcelinho', has competed for six ISL clubs, and the Brazilian is seen as one of the best strikers in the ISL. 

His record contains 34 goals in 87 games in the league's history. In the 2016 edition, he was the rightful recipient of the Golden Boot with Delhi Dynamos FC. 

After that, he enjoyed stints at Pune City FC, Odisha FC, Hyderabad FC, ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB), and NorthEast United FC. He took ATKMB to the finals in the 2020/21 season.

4. Roy Krishna

Roy rose to more popularity after winning the title with ATK in the 2019/20 season. The Fijian international is credited with 36 goals in 60 games. 

He will continue in the ISL for the 2021/22 season as a part of the star-studded Bengaluru FC. His agility, strength and clean finishing abilities grant him authority on the court.

The A-League golden boot winner played for ATK and then ATK Mohun Bagan. He was at the helm of Antonio Habas' 3-5-2 counter-attacking setup and was highly destructive for other clubs. 

In the 2020/21 season, he was the first player to net a goal at ISL's first Kolkata derby. He won the Golden Ball in 2021, a testament to his greatness.

3. Sunil Chhetri

The Indian National team's reliable captain Sunil Chhetri is one of ISL's greatest goalscorers. He has netted 51 goals in 114 ISL games, which is an average goal per game ratio overall. 

However, due to foreign strikers being positioned at the front, Chhetri's exposure to the ball has decreased. He was forced to adjust to playing in different positions in different systems.

The 2018-19 ISL champion and Golden Ball winner is a force to reckon with even at the age of 38, and his partnership with Roy Krishna will be anticipated in the upcoming season.
