Nitish Reddy's breathtaking maiden century has sparked significant conversation in cricket circles, with former Indian coach Ravi Shastri calling for his elevation in the team's batting lineup.

Reddy demonstrated remarkable resilience by scoring an unbeaten 105 at number 8, essentially rescuing India during the Boxing Day Test's third day.
