Nitish Reddy, the rising star of Indian cricket, showcased his exceptional power-hitting abilities in the second T20I against Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In his second international match, Reddy displayed his aggressive strokeplay, smashing two consecutive mighty sixes off leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.
Reddy, known for his fearless batting style, entered the crease early after India lost two wickets for 25 runs. Initially, he took some time to settle down, scoring 13 runs off the first 13 balls with a lone boundary. However, he soon shifted gears, scoring 37 runs in the next 14 balls, including two fours and four sixes, racing away to his maiden fifty.
Reddy targeted Hossain in particular, spotting his deliveries early. In the 10th over, he unleashed two back-to-back meaty blows off the leg-spinner. The first six was a powerful loft over the bowler’s head, clearing the boundary with ease. The second was an equally impressive shot, as Reddy got down on one leg to hit it over deep mid-wicket, landing deep into the stands.
These clean and effortless strikes stunned Hossain and the crowd, who erupted in applause. Reddy’s ability to take on spin with confidence and authority added valuable runs to the total and shifted momentum in the team’s favor.
Reddy’s performance in the second T20I highlighted his potential as a future star for India. His aggressive strokeplay and ability to hit boundaries at will make him a valuable asset to the team. As he gains more experience at the international level, Reddy is expected to continue to make a significant impact on the game.
