It is not about only height. Peter Crouch is Tall but players like Lukaku, Mitrovich, Rondon, Costa are physically very strong besides height. They can bully the Defenders and that adds an extra dimension for the Team.
I was looking for this physical attribute besides height in junior Indian players !!!!
Most are midgets and would fail terribly against top Asian teams. Chhetri Bhutia were successful because they are the exceptions and not the rule. Another lad who would be successful if played as a proper second striker is Laldanmaiwa Ralte.
He scores goals because his positioning is excellent if you have observed. Even in the last match against Gokulam, it was DR17 who was time and again sneaking in behind the much taller centre backs and eventually managed to catch them out and score.
