Nitish Kumar Reddy is out of the Ireland and England T20I series. His absence has raised fresh questions about his ongoing fitness issues.
Hardik Pandya has faced injuries throughout his career, but he still remains a key player for India in all formats.
Aakash Chopra noted that Hardik has also missed games with injuries, but Nitish is already called "fragile." He questioned the fitness of both players.
“Nitish Kumar Reddy is injured again. If you call him ‘fragile,’ then you should say the same for everyone, including Hardik Pandya. All medium-pace all-rounders should come with a ‘handle with care’ sticker,” he said.
“Hardik is still out, and now Nitish is injured too. True pace-bowling all-rounders are rare, so India has limited options,” he said.
Every comeback looks promising, but fitness problems keep stopping their progress. The challenge is to stay fit for longer.
Both Hardik and Nitish have faced injuries at key times. The main question is whether they can stay fit and reach their full potential for India.
