Nitish Kumar Reddy's progression from the Indian Premier League to T20I and his selection in the Test squad for the Australia tour is something any cricketer would dream of. He made his India debut in a T20I against Bangladesh on October 6, and before the month added, the 21-year-old had punched his ticket to Australia, anticipating a Test debut.
It won't be wrong to say that his call-up for the Test side was unexpected, but his all-round skills of a batsman who bowls seam-up convinced the BCCI selectors that he can be the back-up India need in seaming and bouncy Australian conditions.
