Kochi (Kerala) [India], April 10 (ANI): Kerala Blasters FC's Nishu Kumar has put in a number of useful performances for his team in the Indian Super League (ISL) and continued that trend in the Super Cup when he scored a beautiful google in his team's 3-1 win over RoundGlass Punjab on Saturday.

"I've always been trying to score like this. It was also a crucial point in the match, and the contest between the two teams was quite close, so that goal turned out to be very important for us at that point. I'm happy that I could be the one to provide our team with security," he added.
