Nitish Reddy's impressive straight drive off Scott Boland, leading him to his maiden Test century, has confirmed his burgeoning talent in international cricket. The young Indian batsman remained unbeaten at 105, helping India reach a competitive 358 for nine in their first innings, thus providing a fighting chance in the ongoing fourth Test.

Australian pacer Scott Boland praised Reddy's performance, highlighting the Indian player's ability to handle pressure and execute shots across the field. "He played really well, striking the ball with precision and showcasing a range of shots," Boland noted, adding that Reddy has been impressive since his debut.

Moreover, Boland remarked on the challenging pitch conditions at the MCG, stating it offered some degree of nip but not to the extent expected.
