IPL emerging stars: Sunrisers embrace young Nitish Reddy’s talent
Hindustan TimesIn his first season of getting regular game time in the Indian Premier League, Nitish Reddy is a raw talent who is showing serious spark. As part of Sunrisers Hyderabad, who secured a playoffs berth before their final league game win over Punjab Kings on Sunday, Reddy has stepped up particularly with the bat — he has made 276 runs in 10 games including two half-centuries. Picked by Sunrisers at a base price of ₹20 lakh, Reddy went unnoticed in his debut season in 2023, bowling five wicketless overs across two games while not getting to bat. Although Reddy played seven games for Andhra in the 2023/24 Ranji Trophy season, it was with the ball that he had made a mark, taking 25 wickets in seven games at a strike rate of 37.6 to end as his team’s highest wicket-taker.
