The Indian test cricket scene is quickly moving away from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who had recently retired from the test format ahead of the start of the England series.
The appointment of new captain Shubman Gill came at a time when Indian test cricket is transitioning from senior superstars to upcoming starlets. At this point in time, finding crucial players who can have a long run in the test team is of quintessential importance.
In this context, we have a shining star in the form of Nitish Kumar Reddy, who can easily be termed as the next big thing in Indian test cricket.
Nitish was absolutely brilliant with bat and ball in the recent test series against Australia. And even in the ongoing test series against England, he started brilliantly by picking up two wickets in his very first over.
Nitesh is the kind of player that every team desires to have in their final XI. He is brilliant and composed with the bat while he can be the X factor with the ball and pick up wickets at crucial intervals.
It is a fact that he is a bit shaky on the field with his sketching, but if he improves that then he will be a completely different player all together.
India is currently in a position where they need absolutely brilliant talents who can consolidate their skills to become future stars of Indian cricket. If we take a list of the best prospects of the team, then Nitish Reddy will be right up there as he has all the capabilities to become the next big superstar of Indian cricket.
Considering his abilities with bat and ball, Nitish can surely be the future star of Indian cricket and the onus is on him to improve his finesse.
