An Emotional Moment for Nitish Reddy’s Father
India’s star all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy’s father felt emotional after his son made history during the fourth Test match on Saturday. Being at the game, he couldn’t hold back his tears when Nitish scored his first hundred in Test cricket. The last few minutes were really tense for Nitish as he tried to reach his century. He was stuck in the 90s for a long time and even had a close call when he was left on 99 after Washington Sundar and Jasprit Bumrah got out quickly. Nitish’s dad was praying that the last batter, Mohammed Siraj, could handle the next few balls from Cummins. When Siraj managed to get through the over, Indian fans felt a huge sense of relief.
Drama Before the Milestone
