    What's the story

    The I-League is the latest version of top-flight Indian club football along with the Indian Super League.

    Known as the National Football League before, the I-League first came into being in the 2007-08 season.

    Since then, Indian clubs like Bengaluru FC, East Bengal, Dempo, Salgaocar, Mohun Bagan have all battled for the ultimate glory in Indian football.

    Here are unknown I-League records for football fans.

    Highest scorers

    Take a look at the highest scorers in the I-League

    No Indian has registered his name among I-League's top five scorers, with Nigerians Ranti Martins (214) and Odafa Okolie (165) being the two highest scorers.

    Sunil Chhetri is the highest scorer among Indians, with 93 strikes to his name, and is closely followed by Bhaichung Bhutia (89).

    Chidi Edeh, the league's fourth-highest scorer ever (103), also scored the tournament's first-ever goal.

    The 2010-11 I-League winners Salgaocar have won the most number of games ever in a season, 18, and are also the club with the least wins in a season, winning just one match in the 2007-08 campaign.
