Nitish Kumar Reddy missed the second ODI due to a sore left thigh. If the Andhra Pradesh all-rounder recovers in time for the third ODI, he should return to the side, as he is high on confidence, having improved his bowling considerably in the last few months. After an impressive stint in IPL 2026, Reddy bowled brilliantly in the first ODI. His yorker to castle a well-set Rahmanullah Gurbaz could end up being the best ball of the series. If the 23-year-old is fit, he should bowl his full quota of 10 overs. India could also promote him up the order and let him showcase his batting talent in 50-over cricket.
