New Delhi (Nilesh Tiwari), November 22: After the end of the day in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Nitish Kumar Reddy attended a press conference and answered media questions.
Nitish Kumar Reddy on debut:
My dream is to go out for India and receive the Test cap from my hero, Virat Kohli. This is a moment of pride.
Nitish Kumar Reddy on MCG ground:
It felt the same here as it did at MCG. It was the same but for the bounce. I simply concentrated on my plans.
Nitish Kumar Reddy on Rishabh Pant;
Rishabh bats aggressively. He is skilled at applying pressure to the opposition. We had a terrific time playing with him.
Nitish Kumar Reddy on Australia bowlers:
Against pacers, scoring was difficult. I thought it was simpler to score against Nathan Lyon. We attacked him since it was an excellent chance to grab some rapid runs.
Nitish Reddy on current situation of match:
Right now, we are in a better position. I hope we bat effectively in the second inning.
Nitish Kumar Reddy on Jasprit Bumrah:
As captain, Bumrah has performed admirably. He has handled everything well, including the change. The message was clear; let the ball speak for itself.
Nitish Kumar Reddy on Gautam Gambhir:
Gautam Gambhir, sir, and I were chatting. “Any bouncer, just play it over your shoulder,” he advised me. Treat it as if it were a bullet for your nation. The best thing is that.
