Nishant Sindhu

All Rounder
Left Handed & Slow left-arm orthodox

Nishant Sindhu, born on April 9, 2004, is an Indian cricketer known for his batting prowess, having represented India in the Under-19 World Cup 2022. Hailing from Rohtak, Haryana, he is the son of Sunil Kumar, a former state-level boxer. Despite his father's background, Nishant opted for cricket, influenced by India's victory in the 2011 World Cup and inspired by MS Dhoni.


He began his cricket journey at the Shri Ram Narain Cricket Academy under the guidance of Ashwani Kumar, a former Haryana first-class cricketer and coach. Nishant gained attention after his outstanding performance in the U-14 Dhruv Pandove Trophy in 2017, where he scored 290 runs and took 24 wickets for Haryana. His consistent excellence earned him a spot in the Haryana U-16 team and later in the 2017-18 Vijay Merchant Trophy.


The turning point came in the 2018-19 season when he amassed 572 runs and claimed 23 wickets, leading Haryana to victory over Jharkhand in the final under his captaincy. In 2021, Nishant Sindhu was selected for the India U-19 A Squad, featuring in the triangular series and the Under-19 Asia Cup, eventually earning a spot in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022 squad. He also captained the Indian team against Uganda and Ireland due to Yash Dhull's COVID-19 positive test. His crucial 50 against England in the World Cup final showcased his potential.


Following his impressive performances in the junior circuit, the Chennai franchise acquired him for INR 60 lakh at the 2023 IPL auction. Sharing the dressing room with veterans like MS Dhoni provided invaluable learning opportunities for the young talent. He spent two seasons with CSK but did not get a game. However, representing Haryana in domestic cricket, Nishant made everyone take notice with his performances across formats and also earned opportunities with India A during that period.


His all-round displays caught the attention of Gujarat Titans, who were quick to secure him at the IPL 2025 auction. Although he did not get a game in his first season with GT, the franchise retained him, highlighting the faith they have in his potential.
