The son picked up the bat and Nitish Reddy's father started crying, years old revenge were fulfilled

Nitish Kumar Reddy once again emerged as a savior for the Indian team. He revived the match by scoring a historic century in Melbourne and brought Team India back to form. His century in the Boxing Day Test created a wave of happiness among the fans. But there was one person who cried after watching his innings. That person is none other than Nitish's father Mutyala Reddy. As soon as his son raised his bat after scoring a century in the historic stadium of Melbourne Cricket Ground, 80 thousand spectators stood up in his honour. Seeing this, his chest swelled with pride. He started crying at that very moment. He looked up and remembered God and folded his hands. This moment made his lifelong struggle successful.

Years-old revenge is complete.

Nitish's century came at a time when the Indian team had lost 6 wickets for 191 runs and was struggling to avoid the follow-on. But Nitish showed what he was made of. Earlier, questions were being raised about his selection. Many cricket experts had raised questions about his being in the playing XI of the Melbourne Test. Nitish not only answered them by scoring a century at a crucial time. Apart from this, he also silenced those who questioned his father and relatives who taunted him. In this way, he also completed a years-old revenge.

NITISH CENTURY!

A glorious lofted drive brings up the milestone!

Nitish Kumar Reddy's father Mutyala Reddy used to work in the government job in Hindustan Zinc. But the work in his home town Visakhapatnam stopped and he was transferred to Udaipur. To ensure that his son's cricket training is not affected, he left his 25-year-long government job and took retirement. Now he was completely dependent on the money from the retirement fund. Due to this, he started facing a lot of financial crunch. Then he had to face a lot of taunts from his relatives. Everyone started criticizing this decision. However, Nitish's mother supported him completely. After this, he started focusing completely on his son's training and now his struggle in Melbourne has yielded results.
