3 min readJun 14, 2026 06:09 AM IST After India’s seven-wicket victory over Afghanistan in a rain-marred clash, there was an interruption in all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy’s press conference as well. This one left the player and journalists attending with a smile on their face. While Reddy was answering questions from scribes after his two-wicket contribution with the ball, his phone, kept near the microphones, rang. Reddy apologised to scribes and answered the call. It soon became apparent that it was his mother calling him. Reddy had a sheepish grin while answering the call in his mother tongue. He then apologised to journalists and told them: “Sorry I have to pick this.” The post-match presser can wait but a call from Mom simply cannot 😊#TeamIndia | #INDvAFG | @IDFCFIRSTBank | @NKReddy07 pic.twitter.com/23OUBNZvYH — BCCI (@BCCI) June 13, 2026 https://platform.x.com/widgets.js In the game, Reddy picked up the scalps of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (who had scored 102 off just 51 balls till then) and Mohammad Nabi as Afghanistan batted first and scored 194.

Why India are moving towards a Hardik Pandya vs Nitish Kumar Reddy debate

Why India are moving towards a Hardik Pandya vs Nitish Kumar Reddy debate

In his first set of India training sessions in New Chandigarh last week, Nitish Kumar Reddy’s warm-up drills were conspicuously different from those of his teammates. Mohammed Siraj couldn’t help but chuckle as Nitish sent down the red SG ball rather unusually, from a two-step run-up – utilising only the final motions of his usual delivery – in full force. Bowling coach Morne Morkel also watched Nitish from a distance. Now down on one knee, he continued to hurl a yellow ball, heavier than the usual 5.5-ounce cricket ball. Two days later, the 23-year-old was left on the bench as India went in with the additional spinner, debutant Manav Suthar, for the one-off Test against Afghanistan. On Wednesday, the specific drills were back on display at the old PCA Stadium in Mohali as India limbered up for the three-match ODI series, starting Saturday in Dharamsala. Nitish’s modified routines stem from a chance encounter with renowned English fast-bowling coach Steffan Jones on Instagram this summer. Their one-week exchange in Bengaluru before IPL 2026 delivered pathbreaking results. …
