Tension created for this player
Now with the arrival of Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy’s troubles are going to increase. However, Rishabh Pant will be a part of the playing 11 as a wicketkeeper. In such a situation, Dhruv will get a chance to play only as a batsman. At the same time, Nitish is a good all-rounder bowler. But, his recent form is nothing special and he is not bowling much either. Apart from this, Tendeshkate has said that Nitish may have to sit out. Earlier, he was not a part of the Test series against West Indies and did not get a chance to play.
