IND and AUS first test: The first match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth. The Indian team seems to be well prepared for this match. Two players from the Indian team got a chance to make their debut in this match. One of these players is none other than Nitish Kumar Reddy. Nitish Kumar Reddy has made his debut for India in the T20 format. This is his first test. The great Indian batsman Virat Kohli made his debut.
Team India will benefit from this
In the case of Australia, the Indian team will need more fast bowlers. And Nitish Kumar Reddy is a fast bowling all-rounder. Therefore, the Indian team captain included him in the eleven-man squad. This is a very special moment for Nitish Kumar Reddy. Rarely does an Indian team player get the chance to make his debut in conditions as difficult as those in Australia. Apart from him, fast bowler Harshit Rana also got a chance to make his debut.
How was Reddy’s career?
If we look at Nitish Kumar Reddy’s career, he has scored 779 runs in 23 first-class matches. His best score is 159 points. At the same time, he also showed miracles with the ball. Nitish Reddy took 56 wickets in 42 innings in 23 games. His average possession rate is 26.98. He performed well for India in T20 internationals. He is expected to perform similarly in testing.
