India Should Persist With Nitish And Avoid The Temptation To Chop And Change: Kumble

By IANS News July 11, 2025 • 11:42 AM View: 426

Former India spinner Anil Kumble praised Nitish Kumar Reddy as a promising all-round option and opined that what India needs from someone like Reddy is to break partnerships and give the fast bowlers a breather.

Reddy was given the new ball for the first time in the series on Day 1 of the Lord's Test on Thursday as Shubman Gill brought him on for the 14th over, and the youngster produced the breakthroughs for India in his first over, dismissing English openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley in his first over.
