He’s a Reddy-made hero for India with 1st century against Australia in only his 4th cricket test

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — India has a new batting hero after 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy showed the poise of a veteran to score his maiden century, leading his team’s comeback against Australia on day three of the fourth test. At stumps on Saturday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, India still trailed Australia by 116 runs on the first innings, but it could have been much worse. With Reddy on 97, Sundar’s 162-ball innings finally ended when he was caught at slip off the bowling of spinner Nathan Lyon at 348-8. Australia’s hopes of quickly skittling India’s tail faded, however, as 82 runs were added without loss in the post-lunch session.
