Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy had a breakthrough season in IPL 2024, scoring 303 runs and taking three wickets in 13 matches. His efforts helped SRH reach the final, though they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders. Reddy, an admirer of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, was thrilled when Kohli remembered his name during a post-match handshake. He also received praise from Hardik Pandya, further inspiring his all-rounder aspirations.
