Fiji football striker Roy Krishna finished the Indian Super League on a high winning the Golden Ball award for the 2020-2021 season.

This award is presented to the best player of the season.

Although his side, ATK Mohun Bagan went down 2-1 in the final against Mumbai City, winning the award was a plus for the Labasa native.

Krishna ended the season with 14 goals and eight assists from 23 matches to help ATKMB reach the ISL 2020-21 final.

The Fijian missed the Golden Boot award by a whisker for the second year running, as Igor Angulo won it this time around.

Krishna had scored a joint league-high of 15 goals last season but Nerijus Valskis took home the award as he had more assists.
