money Talks. I had heard this. But with the arrival of money the bat also starts talking, this is evident from the batting of Nishant Sindhu. His lost form in batting has returned. 20 year old Nishant Sindhu has been bought by Gujarat Titans in the mega auction of IPL 2025 at a base price of Rs 30 lakh. But, what happened after that? After being sold in the auction, all-rounder Nishant Sindhu scored a century in the very next match. That too not just like that but stormy. He brutally thrashed the Arunachal bowlers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy and not only scored a fast, sharp and explosive century but also won the match for his state team Haryana.
On 24th November, Nishant Sindhu was sold in the IPL auction and on 25th November he played the match of Syed Mushtaq Ali. In the match against Arunachal Pradesh, Haryana batted first. Till the powerplay, the opening pair took the team's score close to 80 runs. That means batting became faster, there is no doubt about it. After that Haryana got its first blow and Nishant Sindhu came to the crease.
Nishant Sindhu expressed his intentions as soon as he arrived. They started beating the Arunachal bowlers. The result was that by the end of the innings he scored a century. Nishant scripted his stormy century in just 48 balls at a strike rate of more than 200, which included 11 fours and 4 sixes. The big thing is that this was the first T20 century of 20 year old Nishant's career.
