Nitish Kumar Reddy has been included in India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would like the seam-bowling all-rounder not to get a chance in any of the matches in the series so that they can sell him as an uncapped player ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. Can be retained in.

The first T20 match will be played on Sunday, October 6 at the newly constructed Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey are already in the team, so it may be difficult for young Reddy to make a place in the team. However, if Team India is successful in taking an unassailable lead in the series in the first two matches, then 21-year-old Reddy may get a chance to debut for India.

Akash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Nitish Reddy

Aakash Chopra, in a video shared on his YouTube channel, said, “They must be praying that Nitish Kumar Reddy remains uncapped. They might be saying – ‘Please don’t play him in the T20 series.’ Like Harshit Rana, his name is also in that team and if he gets a chance to play, he will also dominate.”

Chopra said that when it comes to capped retention, captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head will be SRH’s preferred choices. Chopra said, “First of all they have to retain the captain and Abhishek Sharma. You have to retain Heinrich Klaasen and if you can get Travis Head that’s great. These four names come to my mind first. Pat Cummins, since he is the captain, and he has managed the team very well, you would want to retain him.”

Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma had performed brilliantly with the bat in IPL 2024. He finished the tournament with an explosive strike rate of 204.22. Chopra said that SRH should retain this player as he can be one of the most expensive players if he goes to the auction.
