Nitish Kumar Reddy has brought his best with the bat in the ongoing game and has bailed the India National Cricket Team out of trouble. The all-rounder has oozed his class with the bat and put the Australia National Cricket Team bowlers under massive pressure.
Nitish Kumar Reddy didn't put a foot wrong in his innings
Nitish Kumar Reddy came to bat after the India National Cricket Team lost Rishabh Pant and were under massive pressure. The all-rounder soaked in all the pressure and showed great discipline and maturity while batting in the middle when Australia was at the top.
Nitish Kumar Reddy didn't put a foot wrong in his innings and made sure that he, along with Washington Sundar made sure that they bailed the team out of trouble and took the side to the situation where they could think of drawing or even winning the match if they bowl well in second innings.
Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has been getting out in the 40s this series, slammed his maiden half-century and, after that, made sure that he converted his fifty into a ton and received a standing ovation from almost everyone at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Nitish Kumar Reddy's batting with great grit and discipline was the main highlight of his batting. What caught the attention of many was he wasn't rushed away with the way things were going and kept his calm as he slowed and raced away to his century in the ongoing game.

Time to appreciate both Gambhir and Agarkar for selecting "Nitish Kumar Reddy" in the squad who didn't have a greatest first-class career. Still, they backed him and gave him a debut in Perth, and now He has become the highest run scorer of this BGT by scoring a 💯 at MCG. pic.twitter.com/3eUug7h0Qk

Nitish Reddy scored an overseas century while batting at the 8th position. Imagine how bad Dhoni was, who never scored an overseas century in 15 years. pic.twitter.com/9XeX7IB1tV

That’s a test century of high quality and technical skill from 21 yr old Nitish Kumar Reddy. Left the ball expertly, & attacked when needed. Another deeply moving story of parental sacrifice in Indian cricket.

Nitish Reddy is a proper filmy buff

A star is born! Take a bow Nitish Kumar Reddy, what a 100 in a tough situation, so composed and well organised in defence and attack . His partnership with Washington Sundar just what India needed.
