[WATCH] Nitish Reddy Dismisses Mitchell Marsh To Claim Maiden Test Wicket In Perth Test

Nitish Kumar Reddy, India’s youthful wonder, made a superb entry into the international scene with Perth Test versus Australia. Reddy took his first Test wicket by getting rid of the in-form Mitchell Marsh, earning applause from skipper Rohit Sharma as the fourth day of the first Test progressed. He achieved that breakthrough in the 44th over when Reddy pitched a short ball relatively wide of off. .

Marsh, looking to cut square through the offside, mistimed the shot, getting a bottom edge that ricocheted onto the stumps. The ball might have stayed slightly low, adding to Marsh’s misfortune. Reddy’s delivery was impressive, and his celebration was a testament to his excitement and relief.

At just 21 years old and playing in his debut Test, Reddy’s achievement is a not-too-small achievement in India. Adding a bit of recognition to the budding pacer’s moment was the warm applause in the dressing room from Rohit Sharma. Reddy’s performance raised hopes for Indian cricket, and he looks well set for the future.

Mitchell Marsh, the Australian batsman, had grabbed the limelight during this inning by knocking off 47 runs from 67 balls. His innings included three boundaries and two immense sixes that brought a glimmer of hope for Australia in an otherwise unrealistic chase. Marsh showcased his knack in batting to withstand pressure and perform under difficult times.

Just when Marsh was starting to look intimidating, Nitish Kumar Reddy struck, bowled over the Australian batter, and denounced heavily the hopes of the home country. This timely strike from Reddy was found to be instrumental in keeping India ahead in the affair and leaving Australia fighting an unhealthy battle now.

Kolkata would look more than just disinterested in chasing down anything posted because Marsh’s departure pretty much sealed their already slim hopes of a fightback. With only three wickets to save for the home side, victory was looming in the sights of India’s bowlers, leaving the stage set for what would be a thrilling conclusion to this match with India well and truly on the front foot.
