A 21-year-old boy in Melbourne today fulfilled his father's dream in front of his eyes, the father who quit his job for his future. Nitish Kumar Reddy left no stone unturned to fulfil his father's dream. "Nitish Kumar Reddy" is the only one name on the tongue of every fan of the Indian cricket team today. He played such a brilliant innings for India today, which will be remembered for decades. After today, Nitish's name will not need any recognition because in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, he scored an unbeaten 105 runs at number 8, giving India a tremendous comeback in the Melbourne Test.
From the very first BGT match, the 21-year-old has given a good contribution to Team India every time. Reddy consistently performed in this series despite coming to bat at no.8, and today, on the third day of the Melbourne Test, he made the world aware of his talent. He is still not out at the crease on 105 runs while Mohammed Siraj is playing with 2 runs. In reply to Australia's 474 runs in the first innings, India scored 358 runs for the loss of 7 wickets till the match was stopped by bad light on the third day. Nitish Reddy has hit 10 fours and 1 six in his 105-run innings so far. He has faced a total of 176 balls. When Reddy landed on the field, India had lost 6 wickets for 191 runs. After a while, Ravindra Jadeja was also dismissed. At that time the team's score was 7 wickets for 221 runs.
But from here, Reddy and Washington Sundar built a 127-run partnership to take Team India out of the crisis. Initially, both of them started batting cautiously. After that, first the team saved the follow-on and then scored quick runs. The Indian team is still 116 runs behind Australia, but at this time the Indian team has momentum. The match was stopped due to poor light, after which the stumps were announced. After the resumption of the game, the eyes of Indian fans will once again be on Reddy, who will now try to bring Team India closer to Australia's score after his century. Nitish Kumar Reddy has scored 179 runs in this series earlier, but his innings has been the best so far. He is playing well against Australian bowlers and is not trying to throw his wicket at all.
An emotional moment was seen in the match when Nitish was on 97 when Washington was out, after which his father Mutyala Reddy could be seen on the screen again and again, praying to God for his son's century. Moments later, when Nitish reached 99 runs, Jasprit Bumrah was also dismissed without opening an account. After that, when Mohammed Siraj came on strike, Nitish Reddy's father was repeatedly remembering God. With Nitish's century, fans and his father started celebrating. After the match was stopped, Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan went to Nitish's father where his father expressed his feelings. He told that I was scared of Bumrah's dismissal. But Siraj took over all three balls of Pat Cummins and after that Nitish finally did it.
