Fiji football star Roy Krishna made his debut this morning for ATK in the opening match of the Indian Super League but his side lost 2-1 to Kerala Blasters.

Kishna threatened the opposition with some dazzling footwork and on one occasion he made a sizzling run from the midfield, going past a couple of Kerala defenders into the box, but opted to slide it for Javier Hernandez rather than shoot himself and the ball trickled away.

Krishna continued to threaten the Kerala defense, although his finishing let the visitors down.

In the 69th minute, Krishna was sent through on goal but a sliding tackle meant the chance went begging.

Shortly after, Krishna saw another shot from close range blocked away.

Bollywood stars Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani performed in the opening ceremony along with the internationally acclaimed Indian dance group Kings United just before the start of the match.
