Nitish Kumar Reddy channels Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa’ to celebrate maiden Test fifty at MCG




Nitish Kumar Reddy has been outshining the big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma with his incredible batting display in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia. The Indian pace all-rounder is currently playing his maiden Test series, and that too in Down Under.

While the big names, including Rishabh Pant, have been failing to leave a mark on the Australian turf, Nitish Kumar Reddy is proving again and again that he is going to become the next superstar in Indian cricket, and his maiden Test fifty in Melbourne was the perfect statement.

On Day 3 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test, Nitish Kumar Reddy brought up his maiden Test fifty in a style to help India avoid the follow-on against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne. He smacked the Australian pacer Mitchell Starc for a stunning boundary to hit his maiden fifty in the ongoing fourth Test of the BGT 2024-25 in Melbourne.

And then he celebrated his fifty in the famous ‘Pushpa’ style from the Allu Arjun-starrer Telugu movie. After reaching the milestone, Nitish Kumar Reddy imitated the popular Pushpa Raj celebration to celebrate his maiden Test fifty at the iconic MCG.

The 21-year-old placed the bat around his neck, mimicking the famous scene by Allu Arjun from his film ‘Pushpa.’ Even Sunil Gavaskar, in the commentary box, noticed it instantly and reacted by saying, “O… Pushpa,” before bursting into laughter.
