‘Promote Him In The Order’: Shastri Wants Nitish Reddy Included In The Top Six
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Former India cricketer and head coach Ravi Shastri has called for Nitish Kumar Reddy to be promoted up the batting order following his sensational maiden Test century in the ongoing fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Reddy’s unbeaten 105 off 176 balls, laced with ten fours and a six, showcased his temperament and skill under pressure, making him India’s leading run-scorer in the series with 284 runs at an impressive average of 71.
Speaking on Star Sports, Shastri emphasised the need for Reddy to bat higher in the lineup to improve the team’s balance and allow India to field five bowlers.
"I feel that the way he's batted, this is the last time he will bat at 7. To get the balance of the side, you need him to go higher up the order, either 5 or 6 and then you have the opportunity of playing 5 bowlers to take the 20 wickets, and he's given that kind of confidence to the selectors and the team management and the captain,” Shastri said on Star Sports
