India all-rounderNitish Kumar Reddy silenced his skeptics by shattering his maiden Test century on Day 3 of the continuous fourth Test versus Australia onSaturday The 21-year-old continued to be unbeaten on 105 at stumps on Day 3 after sewing an essential 127-run collaboration with Washington Sundar (50) for the 8th arch to take India to 385/9 in respond to Australia’s 474. His knock follows previous India batter Sanjay Manjrekar examined his location in the group, stating that it’s prematurely to consider him an all-rounder.
Manjrekar had actually made the remarks in advance of the continuous Test in Melbourne while reviewing India’s feasible having fun XI.
“See, there is no doubting the potential he has and how good he has played. But, can we get 120 from somebody who bats at no. 8. He is clearly not a bowler who can get you a seven wicket haul like Shardul Thakur. Is he, at this stage good enough to be pushed up the order and played as pure batter by dropping someone out of form? Then you can add an extra bowler. His bowling is not good enough to play him as a bowling all-rounder. It is too early to consider him as a batting all-rounder,” Manjrekar had actually stated throughout a communication on ESPNcricinfo.
However, PUMA Cricket took a dig at Manjrekar, highlighting his old comments on the gamer. For the unversed, Reddy is funded by PUMA.

Meanwhile,Reddy’s durable century was studded with 10 fours and an optimum as India effectively prevented the follow-on risk and maintained Australia away throughout the day’s procedures after shedding Rishabh Pant (28) and Ravindra Jadeja (17) early Day 3.
Reddy will certainly once more remain in the limelight on Sunday as India still path by 116 runs. With tailender Mohammed Siraj, on the various other end, the young person will certainly want to minimize the shortage to hand Indian bowlers a side in the suit.
