At 32 years of age, Nirbhay Bade stands out as one of the fastest and most clinically sharp players at TSP. Despite the demanding nature of his professional life in sales and the responsibilities of being a parent to a young toddler, Nirbhay's performance on the field is nothing short of electrifying.
