BGT: Clarke Backs 'genius' All-rounder Reddy For Promotion In Sydney Test
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has called for a batting promotion for India’s rising all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Sydney Cricket Ground, set to kick off on Friday.
Reddy, currently batting at No. 8, has amassed 294 runs across seven innings in the series, making him the third-highest run-scorer so far. His remarkable average of 49 has been bolstered by a scintillating maiden Test century in Melbourne, where he scored 114 runs off 189 balls. The knock, laced with 11 boundaries and a six, has earned him widespread recognition and Clarke’s admiration.
Speaking on the Beyond 23 Cricket Podcast, Clarke lavished praise on the 21-year-old, who has been one of India's standout performers in the series against Australia. Clarke described Reddy as a “genius,”and suggested that the young all-rounder should move up the order for the upcoming Sydney Test.
