Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson was all praise for Sunrisers new powerhouse Nitish Reddy after the youngster played a phenomenal knock of 76 against the Rajasthan Royals. Watson said that Sunrisers Hyderabad players are his favorites to watch out for.
Watson was totally impressed by his play against Spin and the way he batted against the likes of Ravi Ashwin and Yuzi Chahal.
In his interaction with Jio Cenima, the star all-rounder said, “Yeah, he is becoming one of my favorite cricketers to watch for sure. For a young man to be able to exert his dominance on a spin bowling attack, especially of Yuzi Chahal and Ashwin, and some of the shots—in fact, all of the shots that he played tonight were of a rare quality. For a young man to have that skill development at such a young age and to execute under pressure against the best bowlers in the world,
Watson did not stop praising Nitish Reddy and hailed him as a special talent and one of the brighter prospects of IPL 2024.
Shane Watson said, “He is a very special talent. So, like it happens with the IPL, every single year, there is always a couple of young Indian hyper-skilled cricketers that come through and burst onto the scene, and that is the reason why Indian cricket has got an abundance of talent that is always going to be found through, and Nitish Reddy is one of those.”
