At one time Hyderabad had lost its 4 important wickets till the score of 64, from here Nitish Reddy maintained the pace of scoring runs by handling the team’s innings from one end, which at one time the score was between 150 to 160 runs. He seemed to be shrinking but could reach 182 only because of Reddy’s innings. Hyderabad later won this match by 2 runs.

In this match, while Nitish played an innings of 64 runs with the bat, he also took one wicket in bowling and he managed to take a catch in fielding also. With this, Nitish has also become the youngest player to achieve these three feats simultaneously in any IPL match.

After winning this match, Hyderabad team has directly reached fifth place in the points table with 6 points.
I will try my best to continue this performance.
After the brilliant performance against Punjab Kings, Nitish Reddy said that from my point of view this is a big performance for my team and me too. I was constantly talking to myself to believe in myself. Their fast bowlers bowled very well and that is why I did not adopt a very aggressive approach against them. I knew that the spin bowlers would come and I could play big shots against them. Till now, the bowlers of Punjab Kings team have been continuously using slow bouncer bowlers more in this tournament, which has also benefited them. Looking at the wicket, I also tried to bowl in a similar manner. I will continue to strive to perform like this with bat and ball.
