It was all about Nitish Reddy and his father’s emotions at the MCG, which stole the spotlight after the 21-year-old smashed a majestic hundred against Australia and saved the team. When he came in to bat, his first job was to avoid the danger of a follow-on. Along with Washington Sundar, they put together a crucial 105-run stand to save the follow-on.
As Reddy inched closer to his maiden hundred, his father, Mutyala Reddy, was seen bursting into happy tears while sitting with Bharat Army members. When Reddy finally reached his hundred by adding lofted shot, his father’s reaction stole the show—not just among the fans, but also with the commentators, who shared in the joy of the moment.
