The Indian Super League kick starts this evening at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Here are 5 things to look forward

5. Exciting Battle In The Season Opener

The biggest football league of the country will kickstart this evening. The inaugural match of the league will be played between the home team Atletico Kolkata and Mumbai City FC. It promises to be a fascinating battle.

While Kolkata have the home advantage, the Mumbai team has some of the most experienced players in the line-up. The experienced side-back Syed Rahim Nabi and the spirited forward Lalrindika Ralte are vital cogs in the Mumbai's wheels.

Subrata Paul is one of India's best goalkeepers. Add to that the presence of the star-studded defence comprising Manuel Freidrich and Pavel Cmvos. It will be very tough for the Kolkata forwards to breach this defence. Kolkata will be looking at Luis Garcia to create chances.

An enthralling contest is on the cards. Will ISL kickstart a football revolution in India?
