নাথু সিং

Cricket, sometimes, offers fairy-tales and Nathu Singh's story is no different. Son of a labourer from Rajasthan, Nathu's built is perfectly suited for pace bowling, and he does the basic thing a pacer is supposed to do - run in and bowl quick. In a country perpetually hungry for pace, Nathu comes as a relief. After missing out on a place in the Jaipur side, he had to make do with a place in Sikkar's team.

However, he got recognition and garnered attention with his pace. In 2015, he was bought by Mumbai Indians for a whopping 3.2 crores for IPL 2016. These days he is a regular in the Rajasthan side and is expected to start knocking on the Indian doors soon.
