    Scored A Test Ton In Melbourne Wearing Shoes Gifted By Kohli, Reveals Nitish Reddy

    Nitish Kumar Reddy: India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy revealed that a light-hearted dressing room banter with the talismanic Virat Kohli resulted in him getting the shoes gifted by the former skipper, which he wore when he hit his first Test century against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

    “Back in the locker room, he (Kohli) once asked Sarfaraz (Khan), ‘Sarfu, tera size kya hai?’ (Sarfaraz, what’s your shoe size?), and he said, ‘Nine.’ Then he turned to me, and I thought, ‘Oh my god, I have to guess this correctly,’ because even if they weren’t my size, I really wanted his shoes. I said, ‘10,’ and he gave them to me. In the next match, I wore those shoes and scored a hundred!" said Reddy in a podcast on PUMA’s Youtube channel on Thursday.

    After getting his maiden Test hundred in 171 balls at Melbourne, Nitish revealed his eyes were searching for his father Mutyalu, who was present amongst the 80,000-odd fans at the venue alongside his mother, sister and uncle. “Everyone in the dressing room came up and congratulated me, but I was just looking for one guy—hoping he’d come and talk to me.
