Pandita had joined the Men of Steel prior to the ISL 2021-22 season and continued to climb up the ranks. The forward received immense praise during his stay at FC Goa, where he also earned the tag of ‘super sub’. The India international maintained his goal-scoring prowess during the season’s latter stages, and his form earned him a debut for the senior Indian national team. The 25-year-old netted six goals in 36 appearances across all competitions for the Men of Steel.

Choudhary made a return to the club in January 2021 and made a significant contribution during his stay. However, the midfielder missed out on last season due to a knee injury.

During his second spell at the club, he made 26 appearances across all competitions and registered one goal and an assist.
Full-back Renthlei, better known as Dinliana, has been a constant presence at the back for Jamshedpur FC since he arrived at the club in the summer of 2020. His remarkable talent and passion made him a valuable asset to the club. During his three-year spell with the Men of Steel, he made 56 appearances and provided two assists.
