Dega Nischal is an absolute run machine who has set the Ranji Trophy alight this summer.

The right-handed opening bat currently sits second on the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy run charts with 815 runs at 116.42 with 5 centuries. Following his move from Karnataka to Nagaland this summer, Nischal has struck scores of 149 (v Arunachal), 49 & 154 (v Manipur), 3 & 94 (v Goa), 116 (v Sikkim), and 145 & 105* (v Mizoram).

Nischal, who represented India U19s, played 18 first-class matches for Karnataka between 2017/18 and 2023/24. During his first two seasons in Ranjji Trophy cricket, he impressed, hitting four centuries, a highest score of 195 and season averages of 44.50 (2017/18), and 36.47 (2018/19). However, limited game time post COVID for Karnataka prompted his move to Nagaland this summer, where he has excelled.

Whilst known for his batting from the top order, Nischal is a more than useful spinner who is a regular bowler in division cricket. Bowling predominantly leg spin, he also has the ability to mix it up with finger spin / off cutters.

The talented Indian is at the height of his game and is now eager to showcase his talent abroad over the next few years. Given his current form, and all-round ability, we strongly recommend Nischal to any club for the 2025 season*.
