Nitish Kumar Reddy is a genius, has been underrated: Michael Clarke

The most reliable player for India in the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy is Nitish Kumar Reddy. Due to his lack of experience and lack of involvement in Test cricket, questions were raised when the young player was selected for the Australia tour. Reddy has subsequently amazed everyone, hitting 294 runs in four games and taking three wickets. Nevertheless, the team management supported him and gave him his debut in Perth.

Former cricket player Michael Clarke referred to Reddy as a “genius” and praised him for his outstanding performance in his debut series. Considering that the 21-year-old was patient, batted well with the tail, and showed no fear of any of the Australian quicks, he feels that the cricket player is underappreciated. According to Clarke, Reddy has demonstrated intent and can play Indian cricket for a very long time because he is a three-dimensional player.

“This young child batting at number eight, Nitish Kumar Reddy, is a genius.”

He must undoubtedly bat seven, if not six, in my opinion. Even at the age of 21, he has been India’s top run scorer (second). According to Clarke’s statement on the Beyond 23 Cricket Podcast, “he has been underrated throughout the entire series.”

Everyone is impressed by him. He doesn’t have any fear of Australian bowlers. When it has been necessary, he has shown patience. He has been a very good tail batsman. He’s made his intentions clear. He bowls, fields, and bats. The Indian cricket team has made a great acquisition in this man. He is competent enough to bat at number six, in my opinion. What a fantastic choice for India heading into the last Test match, he continued.

Notably, during the Boxing Day Test at MCG, Nitish scored his first century. The young player played to his strengths and persevered despite the odds being against him, hitting an incredible century that kept India in the game. But they lost the match by 184 runs, and now the visitors are behind 2-1 in the series.
