BGT 2024-25: India's Star On Day 1, Nitish Reddy Reflects On Getting His Debut Cap From ‘idol’ Virat Kohli
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Nitish Kumar Reddy, the pace bowling all-rounder who left his mark on his debut game on Day 1 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the first match of the ongoing five-Test series, expressed his delight on getting his India cap from Virat Kohli. The 21-year-old Reddy reflected on the ‘dream-come-true moment' for him as he considers the right-handed Kohli his cricketing ‘idol’, after making a vital contribution with the bat in India's first innings of 150.
"It was a great feeling. I always dreamed about doing well for Indian cricket, and it was such a fantastic moment and so was it to receive the cap from Virat bhai. He has been my idol since I started playing cricket. So getting the cap from him also was a happy moment for me and I wanted to continue this," Nitish said in the post-day press conference on Friday.
Rishabh Pant and Nitish found themselves trying to rescue the Indian innings when the latter walked out to the crease at 73/6 and contributed 48 runs for the seventh-wicket partnership before Pant's dismissal off a Pat Cummins delivery.
