However, in the meantime, a very bad news is coming for Team India's 21-year-old all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. Actually, this cricketer from Andhra Pradesh has been ruled out of the upcoming series due to injury. After missing this big opportunity, some fans say that Nitish will never be able to play international cricket again.

Nitish Kumar Reddy missed a big opportunity

IPL 2024 was a great one for Nitish Kumar Reddy. He garnered a lot of attention due to his all-round game while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Nitish played a total of 13 matches in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League. In this, the right-handed batsman scored 303 runs at a strike rate of 142.92. His highest score was 76.

Talking about bowling, the medium pace bowler also took three wickets. He was rewarded for this and the Indian selectors included this player in the T20 series against Zimbabwe. However, yesterday BCCI informed through its official website that this 21-year-old cricketer has been dropped.
