India star all-rounder Hardik Pandya who was recently featured in the second T20I against Bangladesh lavished praise on Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh for their batting carnage at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Rinku scored 53 runs off 29 balls and Nitish smashed 74 off 34 which helped India to score 221 runs. Apart from the bat, Nitish was magical from the ball as well. He picked up two wickets which helped India to defeat Bangladesh by 86 runs.
After India's win at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Hardik took his 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) to post about win where he mentioned Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh.
"Done and dusted in Delhi 🇮🇳 We showed up and put in a strong performance. Proud of this team ❤️❤️ special mention to both outstanding cricketers Nitish many more to come 👌🏼 Rinku god’s plan 👌🏼🔥" posted Hardik.
Nitish Kumar's Reddy's record
At the age of 21 years and 136 days, Nitish is the fourth-youngest to hit a maiden T20I fifty for India. Current Indian skipper in Tests and ODI, Rohit Sharma was the youngest to hit the maiden T20I fifty by an Indian player at the age of 20 years and 143 days against South Africa in 2007 during the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup.
Nitish Reddy gives credit to Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir for his fearless approach in the second T20I against Bangladesh.
"It feels great to represent India, feel so proud about this moment. Grateful for everything. I should give credit to the captain and coach. They gave me the licence to play fearless cricket. I took my time initially, but after that no-ball everything went in my favour. It feels great to play for the Indian team. I want to continue in this same way. Want to keep repeating such good performances."
India will now face Bangladesh for the third T20I which is scheduled to take place at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on October 12.
