India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy dedicated his maiden century in the India vs Australia 4th Test to his father. Nitish’s celebration resembled that of a warrior who saved India from defeat, as his remarkable knock put the team in a strong position. His father was overcome with emotion after his son made history at the Boxing Day Test on Saturday, December 28. Present at the MCG, Nitish’s father couldn’t hold back his tears as his son reached his maiden Test century.
