The format of the Indian Super League is such that the ten teams play each other on a home and away basis with the top four teams making it to the playoffs. In the playoffs, the top team plays the fourth-ranked side while the second and third-placed team meet once again on a home and away format to book a place in the coveted final. Hence, the only consideration for the coaches throughout the league stage is to make it to the playoffs. Once you are in the playoff, anyone can be beaten provided it is your day.
The ten team tournament has been a revelation of sorts in Indian football and with each passing season, the level of the game has significantly risen. The league has done a lot to bring India on the football globe of the world giving a chance to both young and experienced home talents to share the dressing room with International stars who bring a lot of learning with them. The agenda at the end of the day is to nurture football at the grassroots level for the ISL through its franchisee clubs.
