Though IPL has been a boon for budding cricketers sometimes it can be harsh on the best of the talents. Especially if a player is an aspiring fast-bowler and gets a contract from the Bangalore franchise in the auction. The flat tracks and small boundaries have always bullied the bowlers and nightmares have become part of their life.

Abu Nechim is one of them who was the fresh recruitment of the Bold Army in the 7th edition. The pacer is one of the few players who faced the wrath of BCCI for plying his trade in ICL but luckily he returned to the competitive cricket. Then after spending three years in the Mumbai camp, he was going to represent the Challengers as they needed bowling stocks.

In 2014, the speedster played 4 ties for his three wickets but he lacked consistency. In the following season, all hell broke loose when he conceded 60 runs in one of his spells and it sealed the deal of his IPL career. Thereafter he was an afterthought for the franchise and found himself carrying the drinks for the 2016 edition. Finally, he was relieved of his duties and since then he has been churning out good performances for his state side, Assam.
