Adam Gilchrist agrees with Sunil Gavaskar’s verdict on Nitish Kumar Reddy’s position in India’s Test batting order
Hindustan TimesIndia’s batting struggles continued in Adelaide as they crashed to a 10-wicket defeat vs Australia in the second Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Despite the defeat, Nitish Kumar Reddy was one of the few positives for Gautam Gambhir and his management as the all-rounder continued his form from the opening Test. India's Nitish Kumar Reddy hits a six during the day one of the second cricket test match between Australia and India. Adam Gilchrist agrees with Sunil Gavaskar Agreeing with Gavaskar, he added, “He had a lovely partnership with Virat over there in Perth, provided that bit of resistance in Adelaide and just his stroke play, he is well-based on a sound defence but quickly flips it into offence whenever he needs to and I think he’s looked very calm, composed and if he is required in the team for an extended period, he will go a little bit higher than where has been at the moment in the batting order.” In Perth too, Reddy came up with the goods in the first innings when India folded for 150, registering 41 off 59 balls.
