Vikram Partap Singh Sandhu (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; born 16 January 2002) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Indian Super League club Mumbai City and the India national team.

Club career[edit | edit source]

Vikram started his youth career at the Chandigarh Football Academy. He also had a brief stint with Minerva Punjab.[2]

Indian Arrows[edit | edit source]

In 2018, Vikram joined I-League club Indian Arrows.[3] He made his debut on 25 November 2018 in a 2–0 defeat against Real Kashmir in the I-League.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 13 January 2019 in a 3–0 win over Shillong Lajong.[5]

Mumbai City[edit | edit source]

On 14 October 2020, Indian Super League club Mumbai City announced the signing of Vikram on a three-year deal with an option to extend for a further year.[6] On 20 December 2020, he made his debut in a 2–0 win against Hyderabad FC in the ISL, coming on as a substitute for Vignesh Dakshinamurthy in the 88th minute. On 1 December 2021, he scored his first goal for the club, a brace against ATK Mohun Bagan in their 5–1 win. He was later included in the club's 2022 AFC Champions League squad.[7] On 19 January 2023, he played his 50th match for Mumbai City when he came on as 59th minute substitute in a 4–0 win over NorthEast United.[8]

On 7 June 2023, Vikram signed a contract extension with Mumbai City until 2026.[9] On 28 October 2023, he started in his 50th ISL match against Hyderabad FC which was also his first start of the season, but it was cut short when he was substituted off in the 8th minute for Mohammad Nawaz after goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa was sent off.[10] On 18 February 2024, he scored his second league brace against Bengaluru FC in a 2–0 home win.[11] On 2 March 2024, he won the February 2024 ISL Emerging Player of the Month award.[12]

On 12 March 2024, Vikram scored his first ISL hat-trick in a 4–1 win against NorthEast United.[13] This was the second hat-trick in the 2023-24 season after Daniel Chima Chukwu's hat-trick versus Hyderabad on 21 December 2023,[14] and the first hat-trick by an Indian of the season.[15] This hat-trick also made Vikram to become only the sixth Indian to score an Indian Super League hat-trick, and the second youngest player to do so, after Kiyan Nassiri's hat-trick versus East Bengal FC in the 21-22 ISL season.[16]

International career[edit | edit source]

Youth career[edit | edit source]

On 21 September 2018, Vikram scored for the India under-16s in the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship group stage match against Vietnam, securing the quarterfinal spot.[15]

With the India under-20 team, Vikram took part in the 2019 OFC Youth Development Tournament held in Vanuatu,[17] and they emerged champions as he scored twice in the tournament, including one in the final, to become top scorer.[18]

On 24 October 2021, Vikram made his debut for the India under-23 team against Oman in the first match of the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification. He scored in the 37th minute to give India a 2–0 lead. India went on to win the match 2–1.

Senior career[edit | edit source]

In December 2023, Vikram was called up to the India senior squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.[19] He made his debut as an 89th-minute substitute against Australia on 13 January 2024, in their 2–0 defeat.[20]

Style of play[edit | edit source]

Vikram mainly plays as a winger, but he can play anywhere up front. He is known for his pace, ball control and defensive inputs as a winger.[21]
