US EditionBacking Nitish Kumar Reddy: A Call for Patience in Cricket | Sports-Games
Former cricketers emphasize Nitish Kumar Reddy needs more time and consistent opportunities to develop as a rare fast-bowling all-rounder for India.
- On Thursday, former players Aakash Chopra, Robin Uthappa and Manoj Tiwary said Nitish Kumar Reddy should be persisted with and not rushed after scoring 20 and going wicketless in two overs at Rajkot.
- After the match, Chopra and others responded as Aakash Chopra noted Nitish Kumar Reddy often bats at No.7 and bowls few overs, while Ryan ten Doeschate said he `often ended up not doing a heck of a lot`.
- Experts noted that becoming a two‑skill all‑rounder takes time, citing Ravindra Jadeja, India all‑rounder, and Hardik Pandya, India all‑rounder; Manoj Tiwary, former India cricketer‑turned‑politician, urged Nitish Kumar Reddy to revisit basics and bowl more after his dip following his maiden international hundred in Melbourne.
- With World Cup preparations underway, the Rajkot defeat raises selection stakes as Chopra highlighted Tilak Varma and Washington Sundar's availability amid injury concerns.
- Given India's scarcity of fast‑bowling all‑rounders, commentators warned that constant movement across batting positions causes run shortages and hinders young players' growth in the India cricket development pathway.
