New Delhi. Nitish Reddy wanted to prove his critics wrong who doubted his ability in the Test format and by scoring a century on the MCG ground, he gave the message that he is a player of the highest level of cricket. Some former players were skeptical about Reddy’s emergence as a Test player, including the former chief selector. But by scoring 293 runs in six innings and with a batting average of more than 58, he has given a befitting reply to all of them.
Thanks to Reddy’s inning of 114 runs, India was successful in scoring 369 runs in the first innings. Thanks to this century the young batsman attracted everyone’s attention. Did you ever think that you would be the highest run scorer in this team? Reddy shared his disappointment after the end of the fourth day’s play, saying, “Some people had doubts on me as if a young player playing IPL cannot perform in such a big series. I know many people used to talk like this. ,
He further said, “I just want to make them realize that whatever they have said about me is wrong and that is what I am doing.” I want to tell people that I am here to give my 100 percent for the Indian team. Asked how he views the past month in which his life has changed, he quickly replies, “I think for you guys it’s just been a month or two.” But for me it’s the last two to three years. I am working so hard on my batting and bowling. ,
Nitish further said, “After the first IPL season, I realized that I had to improve my batting and I made a plan. When I got time during the off-season, I worked a lot on my batting and now it is yielding results. It is not a matter of one month or two months. I have worked hard for the last two-three years to reach here. ,
