IND vs AUS: Nitish Reddy needs to do a Shardul Thakur in Australia, says Ravi Shastri

India Today  

Even as speculation is rife that Nitish Kumar Reddy is all set to make his Test debut in the opening match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former head coach Ravi Shastri said the young all-rounder should try and do the role that Shardul Thakur did in their series win in 2020-21. "Nitish Reddy will have to do a job like Shardul Thakur did as the fourth seamer," Shastri told the International Cricket Council. GANGULY BACKS NITISH FOR PERTH Nitish Reddy arrived in Australia early as he was part of the India A squad that played Australia A in two unofficial Tests in McKay and Melbourne. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly also backed the inclusion of playing Nitish Reddy in the XI, adding that there is no scope of playing two spinners in pace-friendly Perth.
