Nitish Reddy does not have any special record in red ball cricket
Nitish Kumar Reddy is one of India’s rising all-rounders. He recently made his debut in the T20 series against Bangladesh. He also batted brilliantly in the match played in Delhi. Now he has been included in the Test team for the Australia tour. But, cricket pundits are raising questions on his inclusion in the squad.
The reason behind this is that he has no experience of playing international test matches. Whereas in Australia even experienced players have to struggle to score runs. Will Reddy be able to do something big if he gets a chance? However, he does not have any special record in first class cricket. Let us tell you that he has played 22 matches. In 37 innings, he has scored only 720 runs at an average of 20.71.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.
