Reddy has emerged as a standout performer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. Despite a disappointing debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore last season, he has significantly influenced SRH’s performance this season, amassing 239 runs in seven innings at an impressive average of 47.80.
Remarkably, Reddy has sustained a strike rate of 150 while also claiming three wickets. His standout performance came against Punjab Kings, where he earned his maiden IPL Man of the Match award for a remarkable 64-run innings under pressure at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.
Could Nitish Kumar Reddy contribute to the Godavari Titans’ triumph in the Andhra Premier League?
The 2024 Andhra Premier League is set to commence on June 30th featuring six teams: Godavari Titans, Coastal Riders, Rayalaseema Kings, Uttandhara Lions, Bezwada Tigers, and Vizag Warriors.
Among the notable players participating are KS Bharat from Vizag Warriors, Ricky Bhui from Bezwada Tigers, and Y Prithvi Raj from Uttandhara Lions, alongside Nitish Reddy.
It will be interesting to observe if Reddy can lead the Godavari Titans to victory this season. Notably, in the previous year, the Rayalaseema Kings secured the APL 2023 championship title by defeating Coastal Riders.
