Yup, backed a decent player for once. They should back Venky Iyer as well. Both of them are way better than the fake all-rounder Dube or useless Samson.

At the moment, he reminds me of Marcus Stoinis - which is a HUGEEEE plus going by our allrounder talent pool

I liked the way SKY gave him opening overs and death overs..grooming him..he responded well

[cowboysfan]

he has all the shots,needs to improve his bowling but i like his willingness to vary his speed.

 Nitish Kumar Reddy scripted history as he became the first Indian to score 70+ runs and take 2+ wickets in the same T20I.

For a moment..he looked like klasen and thats a huge compliment

[tweaker]

 These are very, very early days yet and it would be presumptuous to herald Nitish as one for the future, but the signs are more than promising. Of all the quick-bowling all-rounders India have blooded in the last few years – Vijay Shankar, Venkatesh Iyer and Shivam Dube included – Nitish looks the best bet to complement Hardik Pandya, clearly a cut above the rest when it comes to that category.

 

 

Despite four and a half years in first-class cricket, Nitish is only 21. India have begun their endeavour to piece together a team that will embark on a title defence of the T20 World Cup at home in 2026, and early indications are that Nitish will be one of the important pieces of that jigsaw. Two years is a long time, agreed, and a lot of things can go wrong, but if Nitish can stay injury-free and maximise the obvious potential that rests in his lithe frame, he can work wonders with his crisp ball-striking and his more than handy fast-medium. He may not become Pandya 2.0, but if he remains an effective Nitish 1.0, India will be more than delighted.

Really hope we have seen the last of Dube in international cricket.

Nitish selected as reserve for New Zealand test series.

Fixed it.

Nitish should grab this opportunity, by scoring some runs.

 

He was not able to.contribute while bowling.

[tweaker]

Nitish scored 38 and formed a partnership with Jurel.

 

Now should be among wickets in 2nd inning

HIs kind of bowling is likely to be useful in England, NZ, may be SA. Australian wickets hard wickets where you need a bit of ooomph in your bowling

[SandeepMotta]

He isn't ready yet but could be very useful in the future.

But his batting is likely to fail there.

[Adamant]

Not picking him in the eleven unless someone is injured, doesn't look like a good 4th pacer.

Any thoughts on Rishi Dhawan?  He has 9000 runs and 650 wickets in domestic.  Did we invest in him properly? Not sure if any pace all-rounder in India has such numbers.  He did get some sporadic chances at international level, which he didn't grab.  Should we have given him a longer rope?  His domestic performance is not ordinary IMHO.

 Nitish Kumar Reddy is likely to get his  Test cap for the first Test  as the Indian team management is likely to play him as fourth seamer. Perth’s Optus Stadium is expected to have bounce and carry and Reddy could be the right fit to shore up the fast bowling department.
