Scott Boland was bowling to Nitish Kumar Reddy in the 114.3rd over. Boland bowled a full length ball to Nitish, which was coming towards the stump. Nitish moved his front foot forward and came in line and played the shot. There was a correct connection on the bat and the ball went over the mid-on fielder.

Nitish celebrated his century in a special way

Relatives used to taunt me for leaving job

Nitish Kumar Reddy's father Mutyala Reddy's father used to work in government job in Hindustan Zinc. But work stopped in his home town Visakhapatnam and he was transferred to Udaipur. To ensure that his son's cricket training was not affected, he left his government job of 25 years and took retirement. Now he was completely dependent on the money from the retirement fund. Due to this he started facing severe shortage of money. Then he had to face a lot of taunts from his relatives. Everyone started criticizing this decision. However, Nitish's mother fully supported him. After this, he started focusing completely on his son's training and now his struggle has borne fruit in Melbourne.
