I did a little search to find decent Indian strikers in both @IndSuperLeague and @ILeagueOfficial. (Other than @chetrisunil11 )

Result is very demoralizing. I am not surprised now that @stimac_igor was upset about the issue.

I used @Wyscout and @SofaScoreINT

I used @Wyscout to check which Indian players played as CF (as per their designation).

In @IndSuperLeague other than @chetrisunil11, only 4 other Indian players played as CF scoring 4 goals in total.

But if you drill down, it is worse. I then checked how much time they actually played as CF.

Much lesser than their total time and only 2 goals (Both by Manvir Singh of @FCGoaOfficial ) were scored by them in total when they played as CF.

Then I checked @ILeagueOfficial (except Indian Arrows) -

2 goals by Subha Ghosh of @Mohun_Bagan from 113 mins and 1 by Suhair.
Lalkhawpuimawia of @CBFCGOA scored 2 from 692 mins.
Robin Singh for @realkashmirfc scored 1 from 490 mins.

Slim pickings

Conclusion: We have has many good wingers and inside forwards but there is desperate lack of good forwards.

Main reason is most clubs play foreigners as strikers making opportunity hard to come by.

Solution: Short term - play with inside forwards and false 9?
