Sairuat Kima

Sairuat Kima’s performances at the heart of the DSK Shivajians FC defence in the 2016/17 season as a mere teenager made everyone take notice of the talent this young man possessed. Jamshedpur FC were the quickest to act and they signed Kima for the 17/18 season. Kima didn’t get to play for the Men of Steel in the ISL, he got played just 1 game for them in the Hero Super Cup, a quarterfinal against FC Goa, which the team lost. Kima moved on to Bengaluru the next season and was part of the senior side which went on to become champions in the 2018/19 season. The management at Bengaluru decided to make Kima a part of the Reserves side which took part in the Second Division I-League so that the young Center Back gets some much-needed game time. The 19/20 season saw him stay at Bengaluru and feature in the Durand Cup, Second Division I-League(Reserves Team) and also in the ISL. After 2 seasons at Bengaluru and with limited opportunities, Kima could be looking elsewhere for 2020/21 season and ISL clubs would be looking to secure the services of this talented CB for free.
