Indian youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy was one of the few positives for the Men in Blue on a disappointing tour of Australia where they lost the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) after retaining it for almost a decade.

The 21-year-old all-rounder had a great campaign, delivering results with both bat and ball. He finished as India’s second highest run-scorer with 298 runs in 5 games at an average of 37.25 and also contributed five wickets with the ball.

After his stellar performance at the international level, Reddy is now all set to return to domestic red-ball cricket in the second phase of the Ranji Trophy and continue his impressive show.

He only played in one game this season before traveling to Australia. Andhra has two matches left this season, facing Puducherry starting January 23 and Rajasthan starting January 30.

The team currently occupies seventh place in Elite Group B, with four points from five games, which include three losses and two draws.

Nitish Kumar Reddy had a magnificent 2024

Nitish Kumar Reddy was one of the biggest revelations of the last year. He was a big surprise during the IPL 2024 season. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), he played a crucial role in helping the franchise qualify for the finals. Nitish Kumar Reddy scored 303 runs in 13 games at 33.67 and also picked up 3 wickets.

He soon received his first T20I cap for India during the Bangladesh series in October.

Given his consistent performances, he was quickly included in the Indian Test team. He was included in the New Zealand home series as a roaming reserve, but did not get the opportunity to feature. It finally achieved its test debut during the recently concluded BGT, where it was once again a success.
