At the DY Patil Academy Ground in Ambi, Reddy took a hat-trick for Andhra against Madhya Pradesh, though his team ended on the losing side. His triple strike led to him finishing with figures of 3-17, his best return in T20 cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt's never an easy tournament to play \u2013 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It's always been a top league as well. So you have to give your best, no matter what. This is my first hat-trick in senior age group and one I have got before, but it's a pretty same feeling.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI mean, I always feel happy when I perform for my state or any team. So giving my best is what I can do and I am feeling so proud,\u201d said Reddy in a video posted by the BCCI on their domestic cricket social media accounts on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reddy\u2019s hat-trick came in the third over when he removed Harsh Gawli, Harpreet Bhatia and Rajat Patidar. He further stressed on the importance of planning, belief and execution in getting a memorable hat-trick. \u201cI believed that on the third ball, I have to get my scrambled ball to come in very sharply. It came in and you can see that inside edge - that's what happened.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe plan was to hit it top of off stump and if I could get some movement from there, it would be good enough. I got some movement from there and that's where I got my 3 wickets. I tried to bowl into the wicket and I got the first ball to hit the top of off stump, and second ball, scrambled one, going a little bit away and did enough to get the edge. The third one was also a scrambled one and it did very much enough to take the inside edge,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
