'This is the last time Nitish Kumar Reddy is batting at no.7': Shastri suggests new role for MCG's centurion

Hindustan Times  

Nitish Kumar Reddy scored one of the famous Indian centuries in Australia, as his fine rearguard effort helped India remain competitive in the fourth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. India's Nitish Kumar Reddy acknowledged the crowd as he walked off the field at the MCG. “To get the balance of the side, you need him to go higher up the order, either 5 or 6 and then you have the opportunity of playing 5 bowlers to take the 20 wickets, and he's given that kind of confidence to the selectors and the team management and the captain.” Big selection call for Gambhir and co. With calls for India sacrificing some batting in order to beef up the bowling, a change such as this would require India’s leadership to make a gutsy call regarding which player to drop to make way for an extra seamer. India’s major concern will be Australia’s ability to put up big first innings score, with the likes of Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana touted as possible inclusions for the New Year’s Test at the SCG.
