After injury delays India's debut dream against Zimbabwe; Nitish Reddy is ‘Ready to bounce back’
The rising star of India, Nitish Kumar Reddy, is determined to return to action after an injury sidelined him just before his much-anticipated debut for the Indian T20 team against Zimbabwe.
Nitish Reddy, who is a standout performer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024, received his maiden call-up for the national team. However, a last-minute injury forced him out of the squad.
Despite the setback, Reddy remains focused on the future. He said, “It is a part of the game. I am trying to focus on the future. There are opportunities everywhere.”
The impressive 303 runs of Nitish Reddy in 13 matches for the Sunrisers last season caught the eye of selectors. He reveals the dedication behind his powerful batting:
“In my first year, I didn’t get the opportunity to bat. I practiced facing deliveries closer to 140 to 150 kph.” He credits consistent shadow practice for his ability to handle fast bowling.
