IPL 2024: 'He Has Attitude, Talent And Confidence', Rayudu Hails SRH's Emerging Star Nitish Kumar Reddy
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Ambati Rayudu is full of praise for young batter Nitish Kumar Reddy after the all-rounder helped Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) edge Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a thriller, surviving a late scare at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday night.
Reddy helped SRH recover from 39/3 by adding a blistering 50-run stand off just 20 balls with Abdul Samad to power them to a competitive 182/9. The Andhra batter departed for a brilliant counter-attacking 64 off 37, laced with four boundaries and five sixes, while Samad made a brisk 25 off just 12 balls, cracking five fours.
The 20-year-old also showcased his bowling skills, claiming the wicket of Jitesh Sharma in the 16th over and concluding with figures of 1-33 across three overs. Additionally, he demonstrated his fielding prowess by securing a remarkable catch in deep mid-wicket.
