Fast-bowling livewire D G Nalkande has quietly become one of Gujarat Titans’ most reliable impact options, piling up six wickets in only six bowling innings across three IPL seasons (2022-24). Operating at a sharp strike-rate of 14 balls per wicket, the Vidarbha seamer has shown he can break partnerships in the middle overs while conceding just 10.57 runs an over. His standout spell of 2 for 22 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024 underlined his knack for producing breakthroughs when the match hangs in the balance. Though primarily a bowler, Nalkande’s fearless lower-order cameo of 12* off 12 balls—featuring a towering six—proved he can swing the long handle if needed. With Gujarat Titans backing him for a third straight year, the 26-year-old is fast emerging as the silent finisher who can tilt games with ball and occasionally surprise with the bat.
