Nitish Kumar Reddy’s maiden Test century at the iconic MCG was already a career-defining moment. But what came after his heroic knock was something even more special. The BCCI shared an emotional video capturing Nitish reuniting with his family, a moment that showed cricket’s power to move hearts.

Nitish Kumar Reddy’s Emotional Moment with Family 

In the video, Nitish’s mother couldn’t hold back her tears as she embraced her son. His father, Mutayala Reddy, hugged him tightly, pride evident in his eyes. Nitish’s sister beamed with joy, her admiration for her brother shining through. These weren’t just celebrations; they were years of sacrifices finally paying off.

Mutayala Reddy, who left his job at Hindustan Zinc in 2016 to support Nitish’s cricketing dreams, shared his emotions. “Nitish played really well today. I am very proud. We have struggled a lot. We are thankful to the Indian team,” he said, his voice trembling with pride. Nitish’s sister added, “It wasn’t 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, crediting him for his success.

“My father left his job for me. There were sleepless nights and financial struggles, but he always stood by me. 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, full of gratitude, echoed the emotions of countless aspiring cricketers who rely on their families’ unwavering support.

Nitish’s journey to his century wasn’t without drama. On 97, he survived a tense LBW appeal from Scott Boland, leaving the MCG crowd holding its breath. Moments later, he drove Boland’s delivery beautifully through the line, notching up his century in 171 balls. The stadium erupted in applause. His father’s face in the stands reflected a mix of pride, relief, and overwhelming emotion.
