Nitish Kumar Reddy, who impressed with his performance in IPL 2024, made a great start to his international cricket career. After T20 International, he proved to be a nightmare for the opposition team in Tests as well. In the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 currently being played in Australia, he left his mark in everyone’s hearts with his batting and bowling. Since then, he is being considered a contender for Team India for the Champions Trophy 2025. However, he has not yet made his debut in ODI cricket.
