SRH Backed Me Initially, Now I’m Committed To Repaying That Trust, Says Nitish Kumar Reddy
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Upon being revealed as the fifth capped retention by Sunrisers Hyderabad on IPL 2025 retention day, India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy expressed gratitude towards the franchise for their early support and stated he’s dedicated to reciprocating the trust placed in him by the franchise.
Reddy, a fast-bowling all-rounder, was acquired by SRH for INR 20 lakh in the auction preceding the 2023 IPL season. But he excelled in IPL 2024, clinching the Emerging Player of the Season award for scoring 303 runs at a strike rate of 143 and taking three wickets with his bowling.
With Reddy being retained for INR 6 crore, it also marks the first time a player hailing from Andhra Pradesh has secured an IPL retention ahead of the auctions. The retention has also meant Reddy's IPL paycheck sees a staggering jump of 2900%.
