3. Nathu Singh
Rajasthan’s fast bowler Nathu Singh’s name started trending around social media when Mumbai Indians decided to pay him a whopping INR 3.2 Crore in the IPL auction 2016. His father worked as a labourer in a wire factory near Jaipur and he lives most of his life surrounded by financial predicaments.
He made huge in-roads in the domestic circuit playing for Rajasthan as well, which eventually earned him a well-deserved IPL contract. He was earlier picked up by Delhi Capitals as well, but he went unnoticed. This time, the world took notice when his rags to riches story was published in perhaps every newspaper there was.
Nathu Singh didn’t play as many matches as he would’ve liked for the Mumbai Indians, but his life changed significantly after this. This gave him the inspiration to work harder and is currently striving hard in the domestic circuit for Rajasthan.
