Many Indian stars emerged in IPL 2024, one of whom was Nitish Kumar Reddy. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Nitish played 13 matches in the season and scored 303 runs and also took 3 wickets. He was also selected as the Emerging Player of the Season in IPL 2024, but recently he made a controversial statement about MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. He was trolled a lot for that statement, but now he has released an Instagram post regarding the same statement.

What was Nitish's controversial statement?

Nitish Kumar said, “MS Dhoni has talent and by this I mean that he has talent but no technique. Virat Kohli has a much better range than MS Dhoni in terms of technique, but Dhoni is a great cricketer because he realizes his strength.” That's why he became a champion. As soon as the video of Nitish's interview came out, someone said that if there was no technique, how could Dhoni become such a good finisher. At the same time, someone said that Nitish has no understanding of cricket.

Nitish apologized

Nitish posted a story on Instagram and wrote, “The question asked to me was about skill and mindset, which are the most important aspects in the game of cricket. I chose Mahi Bhai as an example of mindset. I believe he is good. Having mindset is an important aspect to achieve success, people misunderstood what I said in the interview and some people even tampered with the video, please do not spread negativity if you do not have complete information.
