Role: All-rounder (right-hand bat, right-arm fast) | Teams: Chicago Tigers, DeePark Dynamites | Leagues: Minor League Cricket, Midwest Premier League
Mittansh Nithiyanandam is a hard-hitting all-rounder who has made himself one of the standout performers in Minor League Cricket's Pacific Conference. Representing the Chicago Tigers and the DeePark Dynamites, Mittansh brings the kind of dual-threat capability — pace with the ball and controlled aggression with the bat — that makes him invaluable in the T20 formats that dominate American domestic cricket.
MiLC Career
Across 29 Minor League Cricket appearances, Mittansh has scored 357 runs and taken 7 wickets — numbers that reflect both his staying power in the competition and his contribution in two disciplines. He was featured as the MiLC All-Rounder of the Week during the 2022 season, recognition that confirmed what his teammates already knew.
In the 2024 season he scored 26 off 22 balls against the Chicago Kingsmen — a brisk, composed innings that illustrated his ability to build an innings and rotate strike without surrendering momentum. Against the St. Louis Americans he contributed to a high-pressure quarter-final fixture that went the distance.
Playing Style
Mittansh's right-arm pace is his primary weapon — he generates good zip off a length and has the ability to move the ball both ways. With the bat he bats with intent, using his reach and timing to find the boundary rather than relying on slog. It is a combination that coaches in the MiLC have taken notice of as the league sharpens its development focus ahead of the 2025 season.
What's Next
Mittansh continues to develop across both disciplines, with the Chicago Tigers providing a competitive platform that regularly tests players against the best domestic talent in the US. He is one of the Midwest's most watched young cricketers, and Bolt Cricket is proud to support his progression.
