About Nimish Lathief

Full Name: Nimish Lathief Date of Birth: June 10, 1997 Jersey Number: 6 Role: Middle-order Batter Nimish Lathief is a rising name in Kuwait’s batting lineup—a young cricketer with sharp instincts, crisp shot-making, and a hunger to make every opportunity count. Nimish is primarily a middle-order batter who has shown glimpses of future leadership through his game awareness and consistency. Born and raised in Kuwait, Nimish is among the new wave of cricketers who have come entirely through the nation’s grassroots programs. His development through school cricket and local leagues stands as a testament to Kuwait’s growing cricket structure. With a technically sound approach and good temperament, he’s known to anchor innings and provide finishing punches when needed. Nimish’s breakout knock came in a T20 clash against Saudi Arabia, where he smashed 48 off 29 balls, including three sixes in the death overs—displaying both power and poise. His ability to adapt to different match situations makes him a vital asset in the middle overs, especially during tricky run chases. While not a frontline bowler, Nimish has been used occasionally as a medium pacer, providing an extra option for the captain. His real strength, however, lies in his presence at the crease—composed, watchful, and explosive when required. Off the pitch, Nimish is admired for his humility and constant pursuit of improvement. He is also active on social media, using his platform to promote Kuwaiti cricket and engage with fans. He’s part of the future core that will take Kuwait to greater heights in world cricket.
