Dega Nischal is a prolific opening batter who set the Ranji Trophy alight in the 2024/25 season, finishing among the top five run-scorers with 848 runs at an extraordinary average of 94.22, including five centuries. His move from Karnataka to Nagaland proved a masterstroke, with standout scores of 149, 154, 116, 145, and an unbeaten 105* across the campaign.
A former India U19 representative, Nischal played 18 first-class matches for Karnataka between 2017/18 and 2023/24, notching four centuries including a highest score of 195. Early success was evident with averages of 44.50 and 36.47 in his first two Ranji seasons. Limited opportunities post-COVID led to his move to Nagaland, where he’s re-established himself as a dominant top-order force.
In addition to his batting, Nischal is a useful and versatile spinner—primarily a leggie, though capable of bowling finger spin and off-cutters—regularly used in domestic division cricket.
He gained overseas experience with Mayfield in the Sussex League during the 2025 season. While he didn’t fully replicate his domestic dominance, he showed flashes of brilliance and is determined to return stronger in 2026. At the peak of his powers, Nischal is a high-impact signing for any club looking for a reliable run-scorer with valuable bowling depth.
