Sunil Gavaskar: Credit to Ajit Agarkar and fellow selectors for pitchforking Nitish Reddy into Test cricket

The Hindu  

Why Test cricket is the ultimate format of the game was seen at the magnificent Melbourne Cricket Ground. By the time the Melbourne Test came along, the Aussie media recognised that this team was not a pushover as some of the other countries that had toured Australia in recent times had been, and so, as is their wont, they began to find some incident or other to try and get under India’s skin. The Melbourne Test brought to the fore one of the brightest young stars in Indian cricket, Nitish Kumar Reddy. He came to the attention of the Indian cricket fans with his performances for the Hyderabad franchise in the IPL, and while he had not done much at the first-class level, it’s a credit to Ajit Agarkar and his fellow selectors to have seen enough to pitchfork him into the Test arena. Ever since the unavailability of Hardik Pandya for Test cricket, India has been looking for an all-rounder who can bowl medium pace and bat as well.
