Day 3 of the 4th Test between India and Australia had a special moment that cricket fans will not forget. Nitish Kumar Reddy smashed his first Test hundred and guess who applauded him? None other than Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins. As Reddy absorbed the milestone, Cummins, standing in the middle, joined in with genuine applause. It was an elegant move that showed the heart of the game.
Cummins praises SRH teammate Nitish Kumar Reddy
The young Indian all-rounder’s big knock came against a top-class Australian bowling line-up. After reaching his century, Reddy knelt down, rested his helmet on the bat and pointed to the sky. It was emotional. And then there was Cummins, breaking into applause for his IPL teammate. That small gesture made the celebration even sweeter.
Cummins and Reddy share history. Both play for SunRisers Hyderabad in the IPL. Cummins, SRH’s bigwig worth Rs 18 crore, has seen Reddy grow as a player. Reddy, retained for ₹6 crore, shone under Cummins’ captaincy in the 2024 season. So, seeing Reddy take on his captain in international cricket added another layer to his story.

Cummins didn’t go easy on his teammate. He pounced on Reddy with sharp bounces and sneaky cuts, trying to shake him off. But Reddy was ready. He stayed calm, put the ball in the gaps and made some incredible straight shots. Even when a bouncer hit his arm, he didn’t flinch. The highlight? Reddy attacked Cummins, who responded with a quick rebound. They exchanged smiles and the crowd loved the mini-battle.
This century means a lot to Reddy. It’s proof of how far he’s come. Faced with one of the best attacks in the world, he stood tall and delivered. This coup is not only a milestone; It’s a statement. The guy has skills, grit and a ton of potential.
