India’s Nitish Kumar Reddy created history in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, becoming the first Indian No.8 to score a century in Australia. The 21-year-old’s nervy 105-run knock saw him stuck in the 90s with one wicket remaining. His father, present at the stadium, prayed fervently and was moved to tears after Nitish hit a boundary to complete the milestone. Speaking to Adam Gilchrist, he called the day unforgettable and praised Mohammed Siraj for surviving Pat Cummins’ over. Nitish’s gritty performances have been key for India throughout the series, solidifying his impact on international cricket.
