Nitish’s sister was beaming with joy and her admiration for her brother shone. These were not just celebrations; They were years of sacrifices that finally paid off.
Mutayala Reddy, who left his job at Hindustan Zinc in 2016 to support Nitish’s cricket dreams, shared his emotions. “Nitish played very well today. I am very proud. We have fought hard. We are grateful to the Indian team,” he said, his voice shaking with pride. Nitish’s sister added, “It was not an easy journey for him. We are very proud and very happy. “He said it and he did it.”

Struggles behind Nitish’s milestones
Nitish has often spoken about his father’s sacrifices and attributes his success to him.
“My father left his job for me. There were sleepless nights and financial struggles, but he was always by my side. When I saw him crying once, I decided I had to work harder to make him proud,” Nitish revealed in the BCCI video. . His words, filled with gratitude, echoed the emotions of countless aspiring cricketers who have the unwavering support of their families.
Nitish’s journey to his century was not without drama. In ’97, he survived a tense LBW appeal from Scott Boland, leaving the MCG crowd holding their breath. Moments later, he beautifully powered Boland’s delivery across the line, adding his century off 171 balls. The stadium erupted in applause. His father’s face in the stands reflected a mix of pride, relief and overwhelming emotion.
