Nitish Kumar Reddy went through a few anxious moments in the nervous 90s, but more on the non-striker's end, before he scored the boundary that brought up a much-deserved maiden Test and international hundred for the 21-year-old all-rounder, who has been the find of this Australian tour for India.
On the third day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, Reddy first celebrated his fifty in 'Pushpa' style, and then converted it into a well-deserved three-figure mark off 171 balls, but not before high-tension drama.
