Mohun Bagan Super Giant forward Suhail Bhat believes winning the League Shield and ISL Cup with the club felt like a dream. Bhat, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir, was part of Mariners’ winning squad in the previous season.
Earlier, the youngster also won the Durand Cup and the League Shield in his debut season with the club in the 2023-24 season. The striker started his career with Indian Arrows.
Bhat played 11 matches for Jose Molina’s team in the ISL 2024-25 season but failed to find the back of the net. The 20-year-old said he always wanted to play for MBSG.
“I used to play for the Arrows, and when we finished the AFC U-19, my agent called me and said, ‘MBSG are interested in you.’ I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going there no matter how much money they’re offering.’ So, basically, right from the start, I felt in my heart that I wanted to join MBSG,” he said in an interview to MBSG TV.
“After that, I came here and played for the reserve team. Back then, in the reserve team, we had a really good understanding among us, so because of that, I was able to score more goals. I scored goals in the Calcutta Football League (CFL) and in the Reliance Foundation Development League (RFDL) as well. In my debut, I scored a hat-trick against Mohammedan (Sporting Club) SC—that was the best debut of my life. I scored that hat-trick. That’s where my career started, and I never looked back and kept working harder and harder,” he added.
When asked about MBSG’s successful run in the previous season, Bhat said, “It’s amazing. When I look back, it feels incredible. It’s like an unbelievable season.
“I still can’t believe it—we’ve won so many trophies. So, when I look back now, I get that experience of how we work together as a team and how we get back up when we lose. So, it is all about the feeling of winning the Shield and the Cup together—it still feels like a dream,” he further added.
Bhat would look to carry his rich form and keep delivering for both club and country.
