On Day 3 of the 4th Test match against Australia, young Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy had a memorable day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a video which captured the moment of Nitish reuniting with his family after his brave maiden century. Fans have also been moved by the video which captured the real feelings that went after this accomplishment.
Nitish’s mother could not hold her tears as she embraced her son. His father, Mutayala Reddy gave Nitish a warm hug, and his sister praised his willpower. It was clear from the deep emotions that this was more than a game’s achievement, but a result of years of sacrifice and preservance.
Mutayala Reddy, who had resigned from his job at Hindustan Zinc in 2016 in order to help Nitish pursue his goal of playing cricket, thought back about the hardships that the family had to face. “Nitish played really well today. I am very proud. We have struggled a lot. We are thankful to the Indian team,” he said, his voice breaking with emotion.
“It was not an easy journey for him. All I can say is we are very proud and very happy. He said it, and he did it,” he added.
