Gujarat Titans debut Nishant Sindhu in IPL 2026

Gujarat Titans handed young all‑rounder Nishant Sindhu his maiden IPL appearance in a clash with Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Captain Shubman Gill chose to bowl first and highlighted the team’s recent success chasing runs as the motive behind the decision. Sindhu, a left‑handed batsman and slow left‑arm orthodox bowler, rose to prominence in the 2018‑19 U‑16 Vijay Merchant Trophy and was part of India’s 2022 ICC U‑19 World Cup squad, where he took six wickets and scored a half‑century. He has played domestic cricket for Haryana and earned IPL contracts with Chennai Super Kings in 2023 and 2024, though he had not yet taken the field. goldparty.lat
