THE TOPSY TURVY RIDE

The First Half of the Indian Super League Season 2024-25 is done and we have now entered the second half of the tournament. Clubs like Mohan Bagan and Bengaluru have constantly dominated the league and are on the top. Whereas clubs like Hyderabad and Mohammedan SC have been battered by everyone and are lying on the bottom. However, there is one such club about whose journey no one can accurately make a comment. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. There is no predictability in their performance. They can do anything. Which Club is this? The name is Jamshedpur F.C. 

To be honest these people have been literally playing a style of football which is hard to decipher. On their days they beat even the strongest of teams, but on certain days they even lose to simplest of opponents. I am saying so because they have beaten clubs like Goa and Mumbai, but have suffered defeats against Chennai and East Bengal. 

Currently after 11 games, they have won 6 and lost 5 and are lying 7th in the league with 18 points. To be honest we can still make into the top 4, but one cannot predict anything at this moment. The Topsy Turvy Ride is such that it is actually getting difficult to comprehend whether this season is going good or bad. I guess we will get the answer only after the season is done. But, for the time being everything is complicated in the Steel City.
