Everything About Rising Star of Indian Cricket - Nitish Kumar Reddy
Big fan of cricket? Don't miss out on the recent update on the new rising star of Indian cricket - Nitish Kumar Reddy, by Punjabi Australian News.

The whole Melbourne cricket stadium stayed focused, with eyes on the ground and an intense gaze, as Nitish Kumar Reddy batted at 99, not out, on December 28, 2024, stated the Australian Punjabi News Channel. It is said that India unearthed a new and young cricket star as the celebrations began on the field as he reached his century.
Let's have a detailed look at the amusing journey of Nitish Kumar Reddy on the fields.
A Humble Launch
The cricketer was 15 when he came near Virat Kohli for the first time in 2018 and wanted to get a picture with him later. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. But on the evening of an award night, he met the sports star and said his wish was to break Kohli's batting record someday.
Over a few years, the young cricketer proved himself by adding more layers of talent when it comes to cricket. With exceptional batting skills, he developed bowling ability and gained the opportunity to open the bowling for Andhra, too. Now an all-rounder, he proved himself by landing a well-deserved spot in IPL 2023 in the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Nitish was 12 or 13 when his dad quit his job for the former's cricket career. Nitish's father was transferred to Udaipur, which might have affected Nitish's game. His father thus quit job and dedicated himself to his son's future. It's a sacrifice and risk that is not lost on Nitish.
A Big Break - IPL 2023
IPL has always been an excellent platform for talented young players to showcase their talent at such a large stage. In 2023, being picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad was like a dream come true for Nitish Kumar Reddy. More than just showing the skills, the player got a chance to learn from remarkable cricketers and absorb so much from them.
The young player stated - After my first IPL season, I realized what improvement I needed in my batting. During the off-season, I worked hard. That's what's working out now."
He also earned the Emerging Player of the Season Award by scoring 303 runs in 11 innings and also taking three wickets by playing for Hyderabad in IPL. His exceptional performance indeed opened doors to more international and national opportunities for him.
Adding More Feathers To His Cap
The young cricket shone brighter than the sun at the Melbourne Ground with 114 runs and gave the team a fighting chance that was much needed. Reddy, just 21, played his fourth test match while his father - Mutyala Reddy, and his family watched closely.
Despite the exceptional performance, the cricketer stayed grounded and started the next innings. According to Punjabi Australian News - Nitish Kumar Reddy stated - "We haven't discussed the batting order for the second innings yet. Everyone is capable of playing on this pitch. We will come back strong and try to rectify the mistakes made in the first innings."
The surprise element to Nitish Kumar Reddy's debut series in Test cricket is the fact that he performed at seven or eight positions. At the same time, the performance suggested he's a top-order player.
MSK Prasad said - "As for his batting, he is absolutely spot on. However, there is still work to be done on his bowling, but I am confident he will improve. The recent achievement will surely motivate him to excel in his bowling as well."
