If reports are to be believed, Gambhir has almost confirmed his place in the first Test. This will be a big challenge for Nitish Kumar Reddy but if he manages to perform well, he will prove to be important for Team India.
Currently, reports are claiming that his debut in Perth is confirmed and if this happens, Sarfaraz Khan will not be able to find a place in the playing XI. Nitish Kumar Reddy has shown his talent in IPL and T20 International. But, Test is the real litmus test. If he wants to secure his place, he will have to capitalize on this opportunity.
Nitish Kumar Reddy was a flop in Australia
Nitish Kumar Reddy was sent to Australia with the India A team so that he could spend more time on the pitches there. His performance while playing for India A was disappointing. In the 4 innings he played against Australia A, he scored only 71 runs with his bat and in bowling he was able to take only 1 wicket.
But after this the team management is showing faith in him. His performance in Perth can make a difference for India in the entire match. Talking about his last seven innings, they have been 16, 38, 0, 17, 47, 34, 0 respectively. However, despite this, Gautam Gambhir wants to believe in him.
