Record 1237 runs in 7 matches at 176 average: Nitish Kumar Reddy's claim to fame that sent message to those who matter

Hindustan Times  

20 minutes before the toss at the Optus Stadium in Perth, the Indian team was in a huddle. Nitish Kumar Reddy, a 21-year-old from Andhra Pradesh and Harshit Rana, a sprawling fast bowler from Delhi, were getting their Test caps from two of India's finest - Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin. Nitish Kumar Reddy received his Test cap from Virat Kohli. Reddy’s breakthrough in red-ball cricket began with the under-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy in 2017/18, where he represented Andhra Pradesh with great distinction as he scored a truck-load of runs to come out of the group of young cricketers looking like a star of the future. Into national consideration with a phenomenal IPL Reddy’s stock truly shot through the roof after a fantastic IPL 2024 season in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s powerful team, where he showed great quality in the middle order against premier opposition.
