Nilesh's major role in the team was to revive Rahul when he got tackled and get crucial do or die raid points.
Nilesh mainly keeps his hands in motion during his sequential footwork that pushes the defense towards the end line.
As he keeps the defense distracted, Nilesh steals a point either with bonuses or toe touches. He can execute running hand touches on the covers' pretty well.
Nilesh's form had lots of ups and downs last season but overall he has been a handy support (169 raid points in 43 matches). There might be a surprise as well if Nilesh gets selected for this year's captaincy.
