Watch: Ravi Shastri’s eyes well up with tears after Nitish Kumar Reddy’s maiden century in IND vs AUS 4th Test at MCG

Live Mint  

Tears rolled down Ravi Shastri's eyes the moment Nitish Kumar Reddy lofted Scott Boland over mid-wicket for a boundary to reach his maiden international hundred against Australia on Day 3 of the fourth Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground. While Sundar was dismissed for 50, Reddy survived several nervy moments to reach his magical three figures—the most defining moment for India in the series—and brought the whole crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to its feet. While Pathan and Sapru soaked in Reddy's hundred, Shastri said, “Yeh aankhon mein aansoo wala 100 hai, sirf pitaji ka nahi, mere khyal se pura crowd jo yahan pe hai, sabke aankhon mein aansu honge..” Soon after reaching his maiden ton, Reddy went down on one knee, balanced his helmet on top of his bat, and expressed gratitude towards the Indian dugout, which gave him a standing ovation. India are still 116 runs behind In reply to Australia's total, India is 358/9, with the 21-year-old Reddy batting on an unbeaten 105 off 176 balls and Mohammed Siraj on 2 not out.
