Nitish Kumar Reddy: Nitish Kumar Reddy came up with a sensational all-round performance, smashing a 34-ball 74 and 2-23, in only his second T20I as India put up a show worthy of a World Champion as they recovered from early setbacks to dominate Bangladesh both with the bat and ball for a comprehensive 86-run victory in the second T20I on Wednesday.

Reddy first excelled with the bat as he along with Rinku Singh (53) added 108 runs for the fourth wicket to rescue India from a difficult 41/3 to help them post 221/9 after being asked to bat first by the visitors at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here. Reddy became the first Indian player to score 70 runs and claim two wickets in a T20I.

Given the ball ahead of Hardik Pandya, Nitish Reddy bowled superbly to claim 2-23 in his four overs, and with Varun Chakravarthy bagging 2-19 in a brilliant four-over spell as the Indian bowlers strangled the Bangladesh batters to restrict them to 135/9 in 20 overs to claim a memorable victory following their big win in the first match in Gwalior.   Read More...
