Nitish, who saved India, named on the board of honour

Nitish, who saved India, named on the board of honour

The team was in disarray. India's top order struggled significantly against the Australian fast bowlers. As Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli walked off the field with their heads down after being dismissed, Nitish Kumar Reddy displayed remarkable resilience in Melbourne. He prevented India from being compelled to follow on in the first innings by scoring an impressive century. Despite Nitish's commendable performance, India did not secure a victory. Nevertheless, the young all-rounder was duly recognized for his efforts. Nitish, who achieved a century in his debut at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), has earned a place on the ground's honor board. Jasprit Bumrah, who showcased his prowess with the ball during this crucial Test of the Test Championship, also received this prestigious acknowledgment. Both players' names are now inscribed on Melbourne's honor board. With his name now on the honor board, Nitish has established a notable reputation in Melbourne.

Prior to this Test, Reddy's recent five innings yielded scores of 41, 28, 42, 42, and 16 runs. Amidst uncertainty regarding his position in the team, he became the third youngest Indian Test batsman to score a century in Australia. When India's top order faltered against the pace of Cummins and Starc at the MCG, Nitish stepped up and played a crucial innings. His brilliant century spared Rohit Sharma from the prospect of following on, earning him considerable respect.

India faced challenges in both batting and bowling during this Test. However, Bumrah stood out as an exception. He claimed nine wickets across the two innings against Australia, taking four wickets in the first innings and proving even more lethal in the second. He delivered a remarkable performance that restricted Australia to 234 runs. This achievement also marked his milestone of 200 wickets in Test cricket. The past year has been particularly active for India's star pacer, who has taken a total of 71 wickets in 13 Tests, receiving accolades even amidst the team's struggles.
