Nitish Reddy Hails Bumrah’s Guidance After Stellar Bowling Spell

Nitish Reddy Hails Bumrah’s Guidance After Stellar Bowling Spell: London – India’s young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy emerged as a standout performer on Day 1 of the third Test against England at Lord’s, delivering a disciplined spell that put the hosts on the back foot early. Reddy, who claimed the crucial wickets of openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, finished with impressive figures of 2/46 in 14 overs, helping India restrict England to a competitive yet manageable total.

Speaking after the day’s play, Reddy expressed satisfaction with his performance, especially after recovering from a recent injury. He also provided an update on Rishabh Pant’s finger injury, which briefly raised concerns in the Indian camp.

Reddy’s Impactful Spell and Post-Match Reflections

Making his mark in just his second Test, Nitish Kumar Reddy showcased maturity beyond his years, maintaining tight lines and extracting movement off the pitch. His early breakthroughs set the tone for India, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj building pressure from the other end.

Key Moments from Reddy’s Spell:

  • Dismissal of Ben Duckett (23) – A well-directed inswinger trapped Duckett LBW.
  • Removal of Zak Crawley (42) – A sharp catch by Shubman Gill at slips ended Crawley’s promising start.

Reflecting on his performance, Reddy said:

Following Bumrah’s Leadership

Reddy credited Jasprit Bumrah, India’s stand-in captain for the series, for guiding the bowling unit.

Bumrah himself praised Reddy’s discipline, calling him a “smart bowler with great potential.”

Update on Rishabh Pant’s Injury

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant suffered a blow to his finger while keeping on Day 1, leading to brief on-field treatment. However, Reddy reassured fans that the injury was not serious.
