Nitish Kumar Reddy stands tall for India at MCG, slams maiden international hundred during IND vs AUS 4th Test

Live Mint  

Nitish Kumar Reddy stood tall against all odds as the 21-year-old scored his maiden Test hundred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the ongoing fourth Test on Saturday. Coming into the middle after the fall of Rishabh Pant with India reeling at 191/6, Reddy took on the mantle and along with Washington Sundar, forged 127 runs for the eighth wicket at a packed MCG. In the process, the Andhra Pradesh all-rounder, at 21 years and 216 days, became the third-youngest Indian to score a maiden Test century on Australian soil. Stumps were called early due to bad light Reddy reached the three-figure mark with a fine lofted shot over mid-on off Scott Boland, and his father's presence at the MCG made it even more memorable for the youngster.
