The outstanding knock of Nitish Kumar Reddy was one of the many unforgettable moments of the third day of the current fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25. Following their difficult position, the Indian squad was greatly improved by Reddy’s knock.
India scored 358 runs with the loss of nine wickets thanks to the 21-year-old, who remained undefeated with a score of 105 runs in 176 deliveries. The way his dad reacted in the grandstand when Reddy hit his first tonne was one of the game’s most widely shared moments.
Additionally, Nitish Kumar Reddy family visited him at the hotel in a video that has gone popular on social media worldwide.
The BCCI also posted the video on social media. “The happy tears haven’t stopped flowing. This day has been a roller coaster for the Reddy family. Watch the magic happen when they give Nitish a hug following his incredible maiden Test century at the MCG, which stunned the globe. An unforgettable day,” they said as the post’s caption.
