After being dropped from Team India, Nitish Kumar Reddy is back in excellent form. After Hardik Pandya’s injury, he got a chance to play white ball cricket. He failed to make a significant impact against Australia and did not get a chance in the ODI series against South Africa. After Pandya’s comeback, Nitish was also dropped from India’s T20 squad. However, he has now claimed a comeback with a brilliant hat-trick. He showcased his bowling skills against Madhya Pradesh.

Nitish Kumar Reddy blew away the excitement with the ball

Andhra Pradesh scored 112 runs against Madhya Pradesh in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League match. Andhra Pradesh needed strong bowling and Nitish Kumar Reddy delivered. He took the ball in the third over of the innings and clean bowled Harsh Gawli on the fourth ball. The wicket of experienced batsman Harpreet Singh Bhatia was taken on the very next ball. He clean bowled Madhya Pradesh captain Rajat Patidar and took the hat-trick. Nitish’s bowling has always been criticised, but with a hat-trick he has proved that he can contribute with the ball as well as with the bat.

Nitish Kumar Reddy, who showcased his bowling skills, has now announced his comeback to the Indian team. He is an important member of the Test team, but has not been able to play consistently in ODIs. Recently he has been given opportunities but he has not been able to perform. Nitish was dropped from the Indian team and has now claimed a comeback with a hat-trick.

Nitish’s ODI career got off to a bad start.

In the absence of Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy was named in the ODI squad. He did not perform well in the first two ODIs against Australia. In the Perth ODI, he scored just 19 runs and did not take a single wicket. Nitish was dismissed for 8 in Adelaide and couldn’t do much with the ball. He then suffered an injury and was ruled out of the T20 series. It remains to be seen when he will return to the Indian team in blue.
