NEW DELHI: All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy of Andhra Pradesh and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) talked candidly about the emotional moment he experienced last month upon receiving his Indian jersey and how much it meant to him because his father put his own career at jeopardy to support his son's cricket career.
Following a strong Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season with SRH, Nitish was called up to the Indian side for the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. With a performance worthy of the 'Emerging Player of the Season' award, he scored 303 runs in 11 innings with two fifties at a strike rate of 143 and took three wickets with his seam bowling, even though he was unable to play due to a sports hernia injury, as per ANI.
