All-rounder Nitish Reddy of Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed the Punjab Kings for his first-ever IPL half-century. His blow came after PBKS bowlers had caused SRH’s top-order collapse. Reddy was the one who showed off his skills at the perfect moment, even though players like Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram were unable to save the Sunrisers. On Tuesday, the hitter participated in his lone fourth IPL match.
Colleagues finding it difficult to keep up with the pace, Reddy brought the PBKS bowlers to the dry cleaners. He especially hammered PBKS’s star bowler, Harpreet Brar, for three sixes and three boundaries. By scoring 23 runs off Brar’s over, he altered the game’s direction. His knock seemed to be on a different pitch altogether, scoring 64 runs in 37 balls. It also resulted in the Andhra batter recording his greatest T20 score.

With a career-best score of 159, he has participated in 17 first-class games and scored 566 runs. His accomplishments total two half-centuries and a ton. After being undefeated on 14 against the Chennai Super Kings, the 20-year-old’s 64 runs against the PBKS are his greatest T20 score.
