Ind vs Aus 4th Test | Nitish Reddy hits maiden ton, keeps India in contest on Day 3
The HinduIn one of cricket’s grand theatres, Nitish Kumar Reddy soared high. Southpaw Washington punched Starc past cover, and Nitish scooped Mitchell Marsh beyond a diving Starc at fine-leg and drove another through the sweeper-cover picket. Just as the audience held its breath, Mohammed Siraj survived, and there was relief and joy all around when Nitish hit a four off Boland, went down on one knee, looked towards his father Mutyala Reddy in the stands, placed his helmet on the bat and gazed at the sky.
