He lost the spring in his step and the pace in his running hand touch step and even the physical brunt which helped him escape with ease reduced this season. The team also lacked a leader in the raiding department and that's why despite the efforts of Manjeet and young Pankaj Mohite, the Paltan sit a disappointing 8th in the points table.
The stats clearly point out the lack of intent from Nitin as he put in just 130 raids this season. ast season, he played just 11 matches but picked up 102 points putting in 191 raids and this lack of confidence clearly shows his decline. This has been a disappointing season from Nitin and he'll want to take some time and reflect on this season and come back strong next season.
