Ragul Krishnan has provided a scan of the an extra card available in the Indian version of this collection - Sunil Chhetri. He is the most capped player in the Indian team (94 appearances) and the highest goalscrore (54 goals). He has spent most of his career in India and currently plays for Bengaluru FC though at various times he's also been on the books of Kansas City Wizards and Sporting Club de Portugal.
Ragul provided some additional information:
I checked with the Panini distributor in India - there is no other Indian player card in the collection. Looks like this is a card to boost sales in the country as the FIFA 365 cards did not sell much and was a flop. However the FIFA 365 stickers were a hit because of some Indian players included. The regular cards are manufactured not in India. It's only the Indian player card that is printed here in India and inserted into packs randomly.
IND 01. Sunil Chhetri (India)
