Nitish Kumar Reddy<\/a>‘s first memory of the IPL isn’t a glamorous one. <\/strong>It’s a misfield from 2023, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowling and Nitish fielding at deep point. In domestic cricket, he learned to judge shots by the sound of the bat. But in the IPL, the noise was deafening, leaving him uncertain. He charged in, thinking the ball was sliced, only to miss it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite not batting in his first IPL season, Nitish’s memories of the game are clear. His second match this year saw him taking on a tough catch, showing his fielding prowess. He was trusted in key fielding positions, reflecting his value beyond batting and bowling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his state side Andhra, Nitish excels in both batting and bowling but primarily in first-class and List A formats. His T20 opportunities have been limited, but he impressed playing for Andhra, particularly with his bowling, claiming five-wicket hauls in consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His batting earned him a spot in the SRH XI <\/strong><\/a>when Mayank Agarwal fell ill, highlighting his versatility. Nitish, once an opening bowler and batter in his Under-16 days, focused more on batting as he grew up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
