New Delhi: After returning home from Australia, India all-rounder Nitish Reddy visited the Tirupati temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Nitish enjoyed an impressive debut for Team India in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and was one of the finds of the series for the visitors. The all-rounder couldn’t contribute much with the ball but impressed with his batting in the lower middle order.
Nitis produced some crucial knocks for India under pressure in the five-match Test series and also went on to notch up his maiden Test ton in the Boxing Day Test at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). However, his heroics were not enough as India ended up losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 3-1.
Nitish shared snippets of his visit to the Tirupati temple on his Instagram story. In a video, the all-rounder can be seen climbing the temple’s stairs on his knees. The clip has gone viral on social media with fans appreciating the young all-rounder’s devotional side after his heroics in the Test series against Australia.
