The star SRH batter Nitish Kumar Reddy has been in sensational form with the bat in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024. He has scored 239 runs in 7 innings of the 9 matches he has played so far, with an amazing average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 152.22, hitting 2 half-centuries.
Meanwhile, the youngster has also made it to the headlines for the piece he has been bought in the Andhra Premier League (APL) auction. He also became the most expensive player ever in the entire history of the Andhra Premier League.
Amidst all this, Reddy himself was also watching the auction online in his hotel room in Hyderabad ahead of the game against Gujarat Titans. The video of the amazing and priceless ‘million-dollar’ reaction of the 20-year-old also started making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared by the SRH fan page on X (formerly Twitter).
Here’s the video of Nitish Reddy’s reaction after becoming the most expensive player in APL:
Nitish Reddy also spoke about his batting performances so far in the ongoing IPL 2024 while representing the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tournament.
Even I thought no one is going to pick me and suddenly SRH retained me. I was like, ‘I have to work a little more’.” Said Reddy to ESPN Cricinfo
“We know it’s going to work every time. It’s not like we will go hard on opponents all the time, but one bad game, one bad ball, such things happen and we have to be prepared for early wickets. You can see at first, we scored huge runs and after that, we collapsed. So I’ve been thinking at the back of my mind for this situation that if the team is going to collapse, I have to be ready for that situation,” he added later.
