Ankit_sharma03 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Rajasthan fast bowler –Nathu Singh, who is able to generate speeds in excess of 145 kph, had turned many heads at the Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction 2016 when he was brought up by Mumbai Indians for a whopping Rs. 3.20 crore, but his rapid rise didn't take much time to fall. Then, he was signed up by Gujarat Lions for 50 lakh at the IPL Auction 2017. However, the pacer went unsold at the IPL Auction 2018 and now has returned back to the MRF Pace Foundation to revive his career. Speaking to Sportstar, Nathu Singh said, “Probably, I did not pay as much attention to training, fitness and preparation as much as I was told to do at the MRF. The body was not strong. Consequently, I suffered a stress fracture on the lower back last season.” Though Nathu admitted that he had strayed from the path, he did not lose hope. He further added, “Senthilnathan sir at the MRF was gracious enough to call me and give me another chance to train here. Then, there is the great Glenn McGrath to guide you. I have to fight my way back to contention again.” Now, he has started training with tennis ball cricket as well as has been working some aspects of his bowling including shortening his run-up to revive his career. He signed off by saying, “The arm rotation has to be good to generate pace with the tennis ball and you learn to bowl Yorkers.” Link - https://circleofcricket.com/category/Latest_news/18107/i-have-to-fight-my-way-back-to-contention-again-nathu-singh tweaker, Mosher, express bowling and 1 other 4

ThePhenomenal1 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 India should have introduced him in odis but they're content on the same set of pacers. Then when the likes of bumrah and bhuvi get rested we fall back on unadkats. May as well give these guys a chance! express bowling 1
gakgupta Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 such a waste of talent... He could have been a threatening bowler in the intl arena on par with Starc
kosingh Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 He is freaking 22 years old. Talking as if he is 33. He has plenty of time zaqw222222 1

He has plenty of time Problem is the frequency of introducing new pacers, its like 1-2 per year! And they get easily discarded unless they do a bumrah and perform from game 1. These pacers need more chances. as far as age, rabada was drafted early as was ishant. Point is we have to try and who knows he could turn to be a matchwinner

Mosher Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Nathu is giving me vibes of Munaf Patel. Hope he doesn't cut down on pace. He is still a young guy. Hope he works harder and gets stronger. express bowling and Suhaan 1 1
tweaker Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 At last some news regarding Nathu Singh. It will be very difficult for him to break into Rajasthan team also with Pankaj Singh, Chahar,Ankit, Khaleel, Nagarkotti in the team
Rightarmfast Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Shorter run up would give more balance to the body and more focus on the final delivery action. Hence, making it smooth and reducing the chances of injuries. It, however, will definitely reduce the pace.

After all none of them are ready for international cricket.
CG Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 why not to U19 bowlers who are consistently quicker than him. After all none of them are ready for international cricket. Pace is not the only criteria.Nathu has good height as well as control .He mainly Nips the ball in.
