4th Test: Nitish Kumar Reddy Leads India’s Charge With Stunning Maiden Test Hundred
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Nitish Kumar Reddy emerged as the hero for India on day three of the Boxing Day Test by hitting a stunning maiden Test century to lead the hosts’ charge in front of 83, 073 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Playing in just his fourth Test match, Reddy was astute in his strokeplay and solid in defence as he joined forces with fellow all-rounder Washington Sundar, who hit a patient fifty, for a decisive 127-run partnership for the eighth wicket, as India ended day three at 358/9 in 116 overs and trail Australia by 116 runs.
With his father Mutyala, with a constant prayer towards God, and other family members watching eagerly from the front seat in the stands, Reddy brought up an emotional century in 171 deliveries through a lofted on-drive off Scott Boland.
