Michael Clarke wants 'genius' Nitish Kumar Reddy to bat at number 6 in Sydney Test

India Today  

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke feels India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy should bat at number 6 in the upcoming fifth Test against Australia in Sydney. Following his remarkable century, Clarke was in awe of Reddy’s talent as he called him a ‘genius’ and mentioned that he should be batting at number 6 in the Sydney Test. His promotion at number 6 could well help India add another bowling option in the playing XI, and fix the area they’ve struggled in the series so far. It remains to be seen whether the team management alters their batting line-up in the fifth and final Test of the series as India are desperate to win the game to retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
