New Delhi. Washington Sundar praised Nitish Reddy’s century and said that he knows him to be a mentally strong player whose philosophy of life is to give his 120 percent, whether on the field or off the field. Reddy’s unbeaten 105 and his 127-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Washington (50) helped India reach 358 for nine on the third day of the fourth Test against Australia at the MCG.
Washington praised Reddy’s century and said, “An incredible century.” I mean this century will be talked about and remembered for a very long time. The ‘Boxing Day’ century, I think he will always remember it.

“One thing is for sure,” Washington said after the day’s play ended. He is very strong mentally. I mean I’ve known him for many years. The way he played his innings today was amazing. He made sure he picked the phase of the game where he felt he could hit some boundaries. He was aware of when the situation became a bit challenging for us.
He said, “One thing about Nitish is that whether he is on the field or outside the field, he gives his 120 percent. This is his approach towards life, it is not that it is only towards cricket. I have seen him during the Indian Premier League (IPL) and have also seen his way of working very closely.”
