Young Indian allrounder Nitish Reddy created history with his brilliant century against Australia in the Boxing Test match at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. He scored 105* at the end of the third day; he fought really hard for India and put the team in a slightly better position. Single-handedly he contained India in a situation from where they can think of a draw or winning the match. To see his amazing batting, former Indian coach and player Ravi Shastri wants Nitish Reddy to bat up the order, and he urges Indian management to promote this youngster in the batting order. "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," "Reddy is fully capable of batting in the top 6. Then it changes the whole balance of the game. You go to Sydney with him batting in the top 6, and you're playing five bowlers,” he added.

When he came to bat, the Indians were in trouble as they lost early wickets at the start of the day. He combined with Washington Sundar and formed a big partnership of 127 runs and helped India to land in a better position. In this inning he showed great skills, temperament, and especially patience, which was missing in all the Indian batters. He helped India to avoid the follow-on; there was a stage when there were a lot of chances of India suffering a follow-on, but Nitish Reddy had other intentions. He came in at number eight and started dominating the Australian bowling. He has been so amazing in this series with his bat, but he was not scoring big. This time he got the chance, and he scored a big century. Talking about the game, India ended Day 3 with 358/9 on the scorecard. They still trail by 116 runs and a lot will depend on how Nitish Reddy approaches the first session of Day 4. On his part, he was admirably supported by Sundar, who scored 50 runs; but after his dismissal, he couldn't get proper support in the middle.
