ISL Stats: Longest goalless streaks in ISL

Sunil Chhetri is having not the greatest start to this season's ISL. After making 7 appearances and 515 minutes played. The Bengaluru FC striker is yet to find the net and also to provide an assist to kick off his ISL Stats this season.

Sunil Chhetri is widely known for being prolific in front of goals, who always finds a way to score. He has 47 goals to his name and sits second on the all-time top-scorer list after Ferran Corominas in ISL. However, in this season, he has not been at his best inside the penalty box and has also missed two spot-kicks.

Bengaluru FC coach Marco Pezzaiuoli took off Chhetri earlier against Kerala Blasters around the 60-minute mark and surprisingly dropped him from the starting XI in their last match against ATK Mohun Bagan.

"It's not about Sunil Chhetri. I think it was a good chance for this game. It (also) depends upon players' injury, who is playing well, we have a good squad," Marco Pezzaiuoli on him.
