Hyderabad: The Pushpa-2 craze and swag has found its place on the cricket pitch too, with all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy celebrating his unbeaten 50 against Australia on the third day of the fourth Test with the movie’s iconic pose.
A clip of the young Andhra Pradesh cricketer striking the pose on the field at Melbourne has broken the internet.
In fact, the BCCI, too, posted an appreciation post for Reddy, saying, “Flower nahi, Fire hai.”
The post has gone viral, with netizens showering the left-hand batter with loads of love.
Thanks to Reddy’s 119-ball knock and Washington Sundar’s unbeaten 40, India reached 326 for seven when bad light and a drizzle forced the umpires to take tea before the scheduled time at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). This was after India lost the overnight pair of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja before reaching 244 for seven at lunch.
India, who started the day on 164 for five and 310 runs in arrears, were helped by the unbroken 105-run eight-wicket partnership between Reddy and Washington. Earlier in the day, Pant made 28 before giving away his wicket to Scott Boland, while Jadeja was trapped lbw for 17.
