“One of the greatest hundreds in the history of Indian cricket” – Sunil Gavaskar on Nitish Reddy’s century

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said he witnessed one of the greatest hundreds in the history of Indian cricket while praising the 21-year-old Nitish Reddy.

He told Star Sports (via The Times of India):

“This century by Nitish Kumar Reddy must rank as one of the greatest hundreds in the history of Indian cricket. This is the first Test hundred and he is going to score many more in the near future. I am expecting to see him among the runs in the future. He is a star of the Indian cricket.”

Nitish Reddy has gone strength to strength in the five-match Test series in Australia. He previously chipped in with three 40s in the first two Tests. The right-hander is currently the leading run-scorer for the tourists in the series with 284 runs, only behind Australia’s Travis Head, who has slammed two centuries.

At stumps on Day 3, the visitors were 358/9, with Reddy and Mohammed Siraj at the crease. India are trailing by 116 runs in their first innings.
