The defensive line-up has reliable options such as Martina Thokchom, Kiran Pisda, Nirmala Devi Phanjoubam, and Sanju, supported by promising youngsters Aruna Bag, Malati Munda, and Juli Kishan.
In midfield, Chettri has opted for balance and versatility with the inclusion of Sangita Basfore, Ratanbala Devi Nongmaithem, and Babina Devi Lisham, alongside newcomers Aveka Singh and Priyadharshini Selladurai.
The forward line is spearheaded by Manisha Kalyan, who continues to shine for Apollon Ladies in Cyprus, and Karishma Shirvoikar, whose pace and finishing have been standout features in recent matches.
