Nitish Kumar Reddy found enough swing at Lord’s and continuously clung to his length.
One day when India’s leading pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj struggled to create an early inroad at the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground, it was the youngest semen in the attack, Nitish Kumar Reddy, who stole the show. In the 14th over attack, the 22 -year -old Mara twice in their first over, Ben Docket and Zak Croli quickly added England to England in the third Test of the five -match series.
NKR’s mass improvement
What was standing outside was not just a wicket. It was how Reddy bowled with discipline, extended the ball in both ways and grabbed his line during a 14-over magic, which he did more than what he did in any test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT).
Apparently, this performance was the result of months of improvement in months, and after stumps, Reddy opened on the effects that shaped their progress: IPL Captain Pat Cummins and India bowling coach Morn Morne Morne Morkel.
,Yes, it’s like after the tour of Australia, I felt that I have to improve my bowling and have the most continuity, that’s what I have seen, ” Reddy said“And yes, Pat is my captain and he has been fantastic in Australia and I have given some suggestions to him and he is telling me how things have been done in Australia, how can I go to Australia. And this is a great experience for me, sharing with Pat Cummins.“Nitish Reddy said after 1 of the Lord’s Test.
Reddy, who returned to late bowling in the IPL after recovering from a side strain during the England T20I series in January, said Morkel played an important role in tuning his rhythm during the visit. Just before the first Leeds test between India and England, India’s bowling coach showed his confidence in Nitish’s bowling abilities. Morkel said that Nitish can complement the Indian bowling attack, and this is what was done by more births on Thursday.
,We are doing a lot of work on our continuity, because I have found some swings in both ways and I just want to be consistent in all areas. So we are working on it and I have been working hard on my bowling for one year or two years.,” He said.

Nitish’s bowling was a huge plus for India. While the Lord’s pitch was not demonic, it was enough to move the ball for an all-rounder, especially in the air. To see how he clung to his lines, a skill that was earlier lacking him. With a better performance in bowling, Nitish has probably strengthened his position in the team. Nobody suspects his batting abilities, especially after his hundred in Melbourne. Now, if he keeps shining with the ball, it is not to prevent him from becoming the prominent all-rounder of India.
