In what could be considered a moment of pride for the Telugu community, we now have a new debutant in the Indian cricket team from Telugu land. The player in question is Nitish Kumar Reddy.
After a successful stint in the limited-overs side for India, Nitish was roped into the Test squad and was given a golden debut in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia.
Nitish travelled with the team to Australia, and everyone was optimistic about him getting picked in the final XI for the opening game. Fortunately, this has happened.
Nitish has officially debuted for the Indian cricket team in the Test match format, and he is indeed part of the side for the opening Test against Australia. He’s slotted in the final XI as a batting all-rounder.
Making your debut in the opening Test of the BGT in Australia isn’t a feat that many players get to experience, but in Nitish’s case, he is witnessing this milestone. This is a proud moment for the Telugu community.
Nitish follows the rich heritage of Telugu players in the Indian team, including Hanuma Vihari and KS Bharat. Needless to say, Nitish is the most exciting and promising exponent of the Telugu land in the Indian cricket team.
