Nilesh has spent a couple of seasons with the Titans after having hopped onto the PKL bandwagon in Season 3 where he took the mat 7 times for Puneri Paltans.

After a rather quiet start with the Pune side, the raider found his footing with the Titans in Season 4 earning 62 points from 15 matches.
The 25-year-old from Maharashtra failed to get his team into the playoffs last season but did have his moments under the sun - such as, in the encounter against Haryana Steelers, where he was presented with the Do or Die Player of the Match award even as the Titans ended up on the losing side by a mere two points.
Nilesh will hope to build on an overall record of 177 points from 43 matches and will also need to better his successful raid percentage of 32.01% if he wishes to catapult the Titans to glory.

Subhashish has been an Indian sports journalist at Sportskeeda since 2017. He primarily covers hockey along with other Indian Sports, and endeavors to bridge the coverage gap between the multitude of Indian sports and cricket via his articles. Subhashish’s interest in Indian sports peaked after watching a few hockey and football matches live during his childhood days, and has also played Hockey, Football, Table Tennis, Badminton at school and college level.
As a journalist, he covered every single Indian hockey match at the 2018 & 2022 Commonwealth Games, 2018 & 2023 Asian Games, 2018 Women's World Cup, 2018 & 2023 Men’s World Cup and the 2021 Olympics. An interview specialist, he has conducted over 100 interviews with the Indian Men's and Women's Hockey team, and has also been part of the UK-based DesiSportsCast Podcast.
Subhashish’s favorite Indian athlete is Vandana Katariya for her relentlessness and never-say-die attitude. For him, India men's hockey team's 7-1 win over Pakistan in 2017 Hockey World League semis on the same day as India men's cricket team's loss to the same opponent in the Champions Trophy final is an iconic moment in Indian Sports history.
When not writing, he likes to spend his free time blogging, singing, jogging, and trekking.
