‘He’s Not Hardik Pandya; You Were Hasty’: Former Selector MSK Prasad Warns Team India on Selection !!

The five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy is to be played between India and Australia from November 22. Indian chief selector Ajit Agarkar has announced Team India for this series. Many new players have been selected for this team, in which Nitish Kumar Reddy has also been selected. Nitish Kumar is considered to be the backup of Hardik Pandya. But former Indian chief selector MSK Prasad has warned and said that he is not Hardik Pandya at all.

Let’s know what he has said. Former Indian Chief Selector MSK Prasad said, “I think Reddy has been selected long ago. They have faith in his batting and he can also bowl 8-10 overs. Like Hardik Pandya used to bowl. But he is not Hardik, who bowls at a speed of 140 kilometers per hour. Nitish Kumar can bowl at a speed of 125-130. I am very worried about Nitish’s experience of red ball cricket. Because he has not played this format much.”

This is Nitish Kumar Reddy’s career

Nitish Kumar Reddy has played 21 matches in first-class cricket so far. During this, he has scored 708 runs and taken 55 wickets. Apart from this, he has also opened the innings twice. After that Nitish played IPL, where he caught everyone’s attention with his strong performance. After that Nitish was selected in Team India against Bangladesh. Nitish took full advantage of this opportunity and played an innings of 74 runs in 34 balls with explosive batting.
