Vipraj Nigam feels comfortable with limited batting in IPL 2026 despite heroics in last year

Bengaluru: Vipraj Nigam had a stellar campaign for Delhi Capitals in the 2025 season, proving himself as a dependable lower-order batter. In 14 matches, the 21-year-old smacked 142 runs at a strike rate of 179.74. In 2026, he was expected to carry a bigger share of the responsibility, but interestingly, he was demoted in the batting order following the arrival of David Miller. The youngster was moved to number eight and unfortunately, he failed to have the same impact, resulting in the team management dropping him in the last game against Chennai Super Kings. Ashutosh Sharma replaced him in the…
