Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy recently gifted a gold bracelet to his father, Mutyalu Reddy, as a token of gratitude following his stellar Test debut series against Australia in BGT 2024-25. The 21-year-old cricketer strongly impacted the lower middle order, contributing crucial runs for the team.
Nitish finished as the fourth-highest run-scorer of the series, amassing 298 runs in five matches, including a memorable century. His father, Mutyalu Reddy, was present at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and became emotional as Nitish reached his maiden international hundred during the Boxing Day Test.
Mutyalu Reddy later shared a video on his Instagram story, offering a glimpse of the heartfelt moment when Nitish presented him with the bracelet.

“I have to thank my wife” – Nitish Kumar Reddy’s Father on Family’s Support
Mutyalu Reddy recently shared insights into his son Nitish Kumar Reddy’s cricketing journey and the struggles their family endured in the early days. He highlighted how his wife stood by him through tough times without ever complaining. In an article for ‘The Indian Express’, Mutyalu Reddy wrote:
“I have been often asked about my decision to quit my job and focus on Nitish’s cricket. I have to thank my wife for it. I love sports and she likes education. I told her, ‘Let’s make our daughter a doctor and let Nitish play cricket’.”
“It was during his India U14 days I still had 23 years of service left and I got transferred to Udaipur. Should I go or not, I was in a state of confusion as he had not played for the state at that point and the coaches said he was playing cricket well.”
Regarding his wife’s support throughout the journey, Reddy further shared:
“Some days I used to be happy and some days I used to be sad. On the day he used to get 100 I was happy and on the day he went out for a duck I used to be sad.”
“My wife is not emotional like me and used to lighten the mood with some comedy! If it had been someone else they would have complained that there are still 23 years of service left, how will our life go on. Had she said that then, I would not have been able to do what I did. She just said all is fine, don’t worry.”
