4th Test: Reddy’s Maiden Hundred, Sundar’s Fifty Leads India’s Superb Fightback (Ld)
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 on Saturday.
Playing in just his fourth Test match, Reddy was astute in his strokeplay – both on front and back foot, while being solid in defence, temperament, application and composure as he joined forces with fellow all-rounder Washington Sundar, who hit a patient fifty and became the perfect second foil.
The duo came together when India were 221/7 in the first session and stitched a decisive 127-run partnership for the eighth wicket. The pitch flattening out also helped the duo keep Australia at bay as India ended day three at 358/9 in 116 overs and trail by 116 runs.
