Club career



Early and youth career


Pandita arrived in Spain in 2014 at the age of 16 and joined Alcobendas Juvenil.[1] In 2015, he joined the Under-18 team of La Liga club Almería but he did not sign a professional contract as he had not turned 18 that time.[2] In the 2016, he joined the U-19 team of Leganés.[3] He was the first ever Indian footballer to play for a Juvenil side of a Spanish top division club.[4][5] After a spell at Leganes, he signed a short-term contract with the U-23 team of Gimnàstic on 5 January 2019.


Pobla Mafumet


Ishan signed his first senior contract for the farm club of Gimnàstic, Pobla Mafumet in early 2019.[6] He played only one match for the club throughout his debut season and left the club.[7]


Lorca


In August 2019, he signed a one-year deal with Tercera Division Club Lorca. He played 26 matches and scored 6 goals and was the top scorer for the club in the 2019–20 season.[8]


Goa


Initially he and his family wanted to stay in Spain, but due to the COVID-19 situation it was difficult to find a club for him.[9] In early 2020, rumours spread about Pandita's return to India and it was speculated that he might sign for Goa.[10][11] In October 2020, the club revealed that it had secured Pandita in their squad.[12][13] He made his debut for FC Goa on 30 November 2020 against NorthEast United at 89th minute of that match as a substitute.[14][15] He scored his debut goal for FC Goa against Hyderabad on 30 December 2020. He came as a substitute on 86th minute and scored with his first touch on the 87th minute as FC Goa equalised the game.[16]

He has also represented FC Goa at the 2021 AFC Champions League.[17]


Jamshedpur


On 2 September 2021, it was announced that Pandita was signed by Jamshedpur on a two-year deal for a fee reported around ₹6 Million, ahead of the 2021–22 Indian Super League season.[18] He scored his first goal for the club in their 3–2 win against NorthEast United on 6 January 2022.


International career


Pandita's performances in his debut season in the ISL were noticed, and subsequently he earned a call-up to the India national team in March 2021, ahead of India's friendlies against Oman and UAE.[19] On 25 March, he made his debut in 1–1 draw against Oman. Ishan scored for India during practice game I-League All-Stars on 18 May 2022. He scored his first international goal on 14 June against Hong Kong in their 4–0 win at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification.

In September, he participated at the 2022 VFF Tri-Nations Series in Vietnam, where India finished as runners-up.


Personal life


Though he was born in New Delhi, Pandita is of Kashmiri descent as his family hails from Kashmir.[20][21] He then moved to Bengaluru,[22] but stayed there not longer and moved to Spain as he desired to play better football there.[23] After spending a term of six years in various lower division Spanish clubs, he returned to India and signed for Goa.[24][10]
