    Nitish Kumar Reddy's Debut

    In a thrilling start to the T20I series against Bangladesh, Nitish Kumar Reddy made a memorable debut, contributing to India’s commanding seven-wicket victory. 

    This performance has sparked discussions among cricket enthusiasts about his potential to become India’s next Hardik Pandya

    Here are three reasons why he is being touted as India’s next Hardik Pandya:

    1. All-Rounder Skills

    Nitish Kumar Reddy showcases a versatile skill set that positions him as a valuable all-rounder. Like Pandya, he excels in both batting and bowling, making him a dual threat on the field. 

    Reddy has demonstrated his batting prowess with significant scores in domestic cricket, and IPL, which highlighted his ability to play long innings and accumulate runs quickly. 

    Additionally, he bowls right-arm medium-fast, providing a crucial option for his teams in both T20 and longer formats, much like Pandya’s role in the Indian team.

    2. Young gun with High Potential

    At just 21 years old, Nitish Kumar Reddy represents the new generation of Indian cricketers. 

    Reddy’s early career achievements indicate his potential for future success at higher levels of cricket. 

    His recent acquisition by Sunrisers Hyderabad for ₹20 lakh in the IPL further underscores the expectations placed upon him as a future star. He is also expected to be one of the SRH retentions in IPL 2025. 

    3. Impact in High-Pressure Situations

    Both Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya have shown the ability to perform under pressure. 

    Reddy’s performances in domestic tournaments have often come when stakes are high, demonstrating his capability to handle challenging situations effectively. 

    This trait is critical for any player aspiring to make a mark at the international level. 

    Hardik has often been lauded for his match-winning performances in crucial games, and Reddy appears to be following a similar trajectory by consistently delivering impactful performances.
