India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20: With a spectacular half-century in just his second T20 international match, Nitish Kumar Reddy made a strong statement about his entrance on the global scene. With three early wickets inside the powerplay, India found themselves in a precarious situation. This is when the 21-year-old came up big. Reddy displayed excellent form early in the innings, batting patiently to allow the difficult phase to pass. He then broke free when presented with a free-hit opportunity, and he did not stop hitting the Bangladeshi bowlers thereafter, smashing them all over the field.

India took the lead thanks to a 108-run partnership between Rinku Singh and Reddy for the fourth wicket. Nitish struck his first half-century off of just 27 balls, demonstrating his ability to cross the boundary at a whim. With seven sixes and four boundaries, he scored 74 runs off of 34 balls and looked to be in perfect form.
