Nitish Kumar Reddy's Struggles in India vs South Africa Test
Nitish Kumar Reddy is a young Indian cricket player who is having a tough time in the 2nd Test match against South Africa.
He is an all-rounder, which means he can both bat and bowl.
In this match, he didn't bowl many overs and didn't take any wickets.
He also didn't score many runs when he batted.
He has been struggling with injuries and hasn't had a clear role in the team.
The coaches like his skills but are worried about his body holding up in Test cricket.
He has played in a few matches but hasn't bowled a lot in each game.
The team is trying to find a way to give him more game time to develop his bowling.
Nitish Kumar Reddy bowled only 10 overs in South Africa's first innings and 4 overs in the second, finishing with figures of 0/24.
He is likely to bat at No. 8 again when India attempts to bat time in Guwahati.
Reddy has had five single-figure dismissals in his last nine innings at lower-order positions.
He has endured multiple injuries, including groin, quadricep, knee, side strain, and neck spasm.
The Indian team management acknowledges his potential but is concerned about his ability to handle the physical demands of Test cricket.
