Sometimes known for taking flying catches, sometimes for making the ball fly all over the park, we are talking about probably the next big in T20 Cricket, Nikhil Naik. Born in the small town of Sawantvadi in Maharashtra, Nail trades his skills for Mumbai in the domestic circuit. His clean hitting abilities coupled with his near error-free wicket-keeping make him a must have for every T20 franchise. Kolkata Knight Riders bought him up for a mere INR 20 lakh to strengthen their wicket-keeping reserves. With Dinesh Karthik and Robin Uthappa in the squad, it will be difficult for Naik to get a place in the playing XI though. However, just a chance is all what it will take for the big man to force his way into the starting lineup.
