Bengaluru FC, led by experienced Spanish coach Carles Cuadrat, will be expected to defend their title as they gear up for a challenging season in this year's Indian Super League (ISL). Pressure will lie on the shoulders of experienced players such as Erik Paartalu, Sunil Chhetri and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to lead the Blues to domestic glory once again. They have made some interesting signings in the summer including that of promising India winger - Ashique Kuruniyan. Will Cuadrat & Co. successfully defend their Indian Super League (ISL) title or will we see a new champion in the domestic league this year?
