New Delhi. When Nitish Reddy reached his first Test century by hitting a straight drive off Scott Boland, this Australian fast bowler got an idea of the ability of the young Indian batsman. Reddy remained unbeaten on 105 at the end of the third day’s play, taking India’s first innings score to 358 for nine at stumps. With this, the team has a chance to save the fourth test.
“Yes, definitely, he is playing really well,” Boland said in response to PTI’s question after the end of the day’s play. He is trying to put pressure on us by playing lower in the middle order. And he is playing well. He played really well. He is a young player from India who hits the ball really well. Looks like he has almost every shot. ,
IND vs AUS: ‘Unbelievable century, he always…’ What did Washington Sundar say in praise of Nitish Reddy?
Boland first saw Reddy during a pink-ball match between India and the Prime Minister’s Playing XI in Canberra. He said, “I played ‘A’ matches against him, Prime Minister’s Playing XI matches and then some Test matches. You can see that he can score runs everywhere in the field. ,
Boland said, “He is definitely a very good player and performs well in the IPL. He is performing well in Australian conditions also. Till the third day’s play, India has scored 358 runs. India is still behind by 116 runs. It remains to be seen how far India takes its score on the fourth day.
