Nitish Kumar Reddy scored a historic century in the Melbourne Test match against Australia. This is the first century of his international career. His century came at a time when the Indian team was in danger on follow-on. So before his innings, all the spectators present at MCG stood up in reverence.
Nitish Kumar Reddy has once again emerged as a troubleshooter for the Indian team. He revived the match by scoring a historic century in Melbourne and brought Team India back. His century in the Boxing Day Test brought a wave of joy among the fans. But there was one person who cried after seeing his innings. That person is none other than Nitish’s father Mutyala Reddy. As his son raised his bat after scoring a century at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground, 80,000 spectators stood to pay their respects. Seeing this, his chest expanded with pride. At that very moment he started crying bitterly. He looked up and remembered God and folded his hands. This moment made his lifelong struggle successful.
The centuries old revenge is over
Nitish’s century came at a time when the Indian team had lost 6 wickets for 191 runs and was struggling to save the follow-on. But Nitish has shown what he is made of. Earlier questions were being raised on his selection. Many cricket experts raised questions on his inclusion in the playing eleven for the Melbourne Test. Nitish responded by scoring a century at the crucial time. Apart from this, he also stopped talking to his relatives who used to taunt his father. In this way he completed his age-old revenge.
Relatives used to taunt me for leaving my job
Nitish Kumar Reddy’s father Mutyala Reddy’s father was a government employee in Hindustan Zinc. But work in his home town Visakhapatnam stopped and he was transferred to Udaipur. After 25 years of government service, he retired so that his son’s cricket training was not affected. Now he was completely dependent on the money from the retirement fund. Due to this he had to face severe shortage of money. Then he had to face a lot of taunts from his relatives. Everyone started criticizing this decision. However, Nitish’s mother fully supported him. After this he started paying full attention to his son’s training and now his struggle has paid off in Melbourne.
