Nitish Kumar Reddy suffers quadriceps injury ahead of Australia T20Is
What's the story
Young Indian all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy suffered a left quadriceps injury during the second ODI against Australia. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced his injury on social media platform X. The all-rounder made his ODI debut in the opener of the ongoing series against Australia, but missed out on selection for the third ODI due to this injury.
Uncertainty
Reddy's injury raises questions about his availability for T20I series
Reddy's injury has raised questions about his availability for the upcoming five-match T20I series against Australia, starting October 29. The all-rounder played two consecutive games in Australia, both of which India lost. Reddy went wicket-less in both games as he recorded scores worth 8 and 19*. In T20Is, he has 90 runs at 45 and three wickets across four games.
Recovery status
BCCI is keeping a close watch on Reddy's condition
The BCCI has said that Reddy is under the watchful eye of their medical team, who are monitoring his condition on a daily basis. However, they have not given any details about how long it would take for him to recover from this injury. This ambiguity leaves fans and cricket analysts guessing about Reddy's potential return to the field.
