He testified to his incredible presence of mind.
Talented Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy showcased his immense talent with an incredible reverse knock over the slip cordon during the ongoing second Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Adelaide.
With the Indian team struggling at 141 for 8, Reddy decided to shoulder the scoring responsibility and testified to his presence of mind by changing his stance early and pulling out the special shot from his kitty. The incident occurred on the second ball of the 42nd over, bowled by Scott Boland.
Notably, Nitish Kumar Reddy followed up with another maximum ball later on by hitting one at deep mid-on. Although Lyon was at the boundary line and jumped and grabbed the ball with his hands, the Australian veteran ultimately failed to stop him inside.

Australian pacers dominate and surpass India by 180 runs
Talking about the match, Nitish Kumar Reddy was India’s top scorer at 42 in a lackluster batting display. Only four other batsmen managed to cross the double-digit mark – KL Rahul (37), Shubman Gill (31), Rishabh Pant (21), Ravichandran Ashwin (22) – as India were bowled out for 180 in 44.1 overs.
For Australia, Starc once again dominated with the pink ball, finishing with a stellar six-wicket haul, while captain Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took two wickets each.
