India had big names, but a young all-rounder stole the show with his spell against Afghanistan.
When Afghanistan looked settled, Nitish Kumar Reddy broke their momentum with key wickets, turning the game India’s way.
Aakash Chopra praised Nitish’s impact, saying his performance could be a big boost for India’s future.
Chopra said India has long searched for a Hardik Pandya or Kapil Dev replacement, and is now looking at Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Chopra said Hardik once promised to end the search for a Kapil Dev replacement, but he won’t play forever and only plays limited white-ball cricket.
Chopra said India has tried many all-rounders, and now Nitish Kumar Reddy is the latest. He praised Nitish’s improved bowling, control, and ability to deliver in tough overs, saying his success is crucial for India.
With his strong form and confidence, Nitish Kumar Reddy could soon force selectors to make tough choices. Is he India’s next all-format star?
