In the 23rd match of IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Punjab Kings at their home. The hero of Hyderabad's victory was not Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma or Aiden Markram but Nitish Kumar Reddy. The 20-year-old player performed brilliantly with both bat and ball and led his team to victory by 2 runs. This was Hyderabad's third win of the season.

India got a dangerous all-rounder

Nitish Kumar Reddy bowls like Bhuvi and bats explosively like Klaasen. In the match against Punjab, Reddy played an inning of 64 runs in just 37 balls, when his team lost 4 wickets for 64 runs in the 10th over. Reddy hit 4 fours and 5 sixes in his innings. After this, he ensured his team's victory by dismissing Jitesh Sharma at the crucial time.

Know who is Nitish Kumar Reddy

Nitish Kumar Reddy, who plays domestic cricket for Andhra Pradesh, is a brilliant talent. Reddy was born in Visakhapatnam. Batting at number 3 for Andhra Pradesh in the 2018-2019 Vinoo Mankad Under-19 Tournament, Reddy performed brilliantly and grabbed a lot of headlines. Reddy, who considers Hardik Pandya and Ben Stokes as his idol, played for Andhra Pradesh in Ranji Trophy 2023-2024 and scored 366 runs in 7 matches, which also included a century.

Reddy was bought for 20 lakhs

20-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 auction for his base price of Rs 20 lakh. If Reddy continues to perform like this this season, he can soon be included in Team India. Actually, the Indian team is looking for an all-rounder like Reddy to replace Hardik Pandya. So far Reddy is looking very good. He plays big shots with ease and also bowls at good pace. Reddy's specialty is that he plays aggressive cricket as a fast bowler as well as a spinner.
