Reddy said in a podcast on Puma’s YouTube channel on Thursday.

After scoring his first Test century in 171 balls in Melbourne, Nitish revealed that his eyes were searching for his father Mutyalu, who was present on the field with more than 80,000 fans on the field with his mother, sister and uncle. “Everyone in the dressing room came and congratulated me, but I was only looking for a person – he was expecting that he would come and talk to me.

“When Virat Bhai (Kohli) finally came to me and told me that I had played a brilliant game, that moment was special for me. I was also looking for my father in the stand, but could not find him.

But SRH is a team that I can really join. As it is a domestic team for me. It seems that you are representing your home team and want to make a great impact in that team.

“I just want to perform well and bring that cup back to SRH, and they have shown full confidence in me. I felt that the time has come when I should trust them and re -trust. The conversation with another franchise was going on to involve me in the auction. My reply was that I always wanted to play for SRH, but not everyone was easy to refuse.

“When I play for the team, whenever someone comes to talk to me in Telugu, they take me like their brother. Like, some of their familiarity is playing for their home team. Obviously, Orange Army, this is a big thing and they really support. Concluded.
