Update: 2014-08-17 22:47 GMT
Former Newcastle United striker Michael Chopra, an Indian-origin English footballer, on Saturday confirmed his participation in the inaugural season of Indian Super League.

Chopra said: ‘I’m delighted to be part of the new Indian Super League. It’s an exciting time for Indian football and an honour for me to be involved in this new era.  The 30-year-old Chopra has had vast footballing experience. He made his UEFA Champions League debut in December 2002, as a substitute against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, and also played against Bayer Leverkusen.  In 2006, Chopra made headlines after scoring what was then the fastest goal by a substitute in Premier League history, finding the target after being on the pitch for 15 seconds.
