With every foreigner registered, eligible to play in the starting XI, the likes of Stefan Sapic, Cy Goddard, Andrei Alba, Allan Paulista and Edmilson Correia will all want to make their mark in the knockout competition too.
Ramhlunchhunga, Abdul Rabeeh, Sourav K, Devendra Murgaonkar and Joseph Sunny have shown glimpses of what they can do in the recently concluded campaign.
They will also want to prove themselves and put in a strong performance, starting against Jamshedpur next Thursday.
Arshdeep Singh was one of the top performers for the Yellow and Black this season.

Muhammed Rafi, Manoj Mohammad, Parag Shrivas, Leander D’Cunha, and Soyal Joshy are all fighting for spots in the backline and will also have a role to play for the Yellow and Black against a tough Jamshedpur side.
Ayush Adhikari, Isaac Vanmalsawma, Lenny Rodrigues and Abijith PA have all been superb in patches and will be the biggest dilemma in terms of team selection for coach Shameel.
Hyderabad play Jamshedpur at the Kalinga Stadium in an 8:00 pm kick-off.
