Roy Krishna is the Indian Super League Player of the Month for December 2023.

This morning Krishna scored two goals as his Odisha side beat Kerala 2-1.

The Fijian striker showed he can be a potent force even at the age of 36, finding the back of the Kerala Blasters net twice in four minutes in the second half soon after trailing 1-nil at half time.

Krishna has now scored 50 goals in his ISL career.

The Labasa born continues to be one of the best strikers in the competition but it was his impressive willingness in building up play that makes him worthy of walking away with the Player of the Match award.
