Viva Kerala

In the I-League match at Calicut against Air India, when Sulley Mussah had fouled Badmus Babatunde, Viva Kerala captain Khelemba Singh scored from a 40-yard long stunning free kick, a thriller which finally ended in a 3-2 win for the home team.[1]

Pradeep and Peter Costa.[2] He made his debut on 2 December 2013 against East Bengal F.C. at the Balewadi Sports Complex in which he played the whole match as Mumbai won the match 3-2.[3]
