His maiden Test century, a remarkable 114 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, was undoubtedly the highlight of his tour. This special moment was witnessed by his family, including his father Mutyalu Reddy, mother Manasa, sister Tejaswi, and uncle Surendra.
"From setting alarms to watch Test matches in Australia to gaining a first-hand sense of the Australian shores, the last two months have been nothing short of an opportunity to grow, as a player and a person too. Not the way we wanted to end the series. We'll be back, tougher and stronger," Reddy wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
In addition to his batting contributions, Reddy showcased his bowling skills, taking five wickets in 44 overs. His best bowling figures were 2 for 32.
Reddy's composed demeanour and impressive performances during his inaugural Test tour of Australia garnered praise from both Indian and Australian cricket experts. Many believe he is destined for a long and successful career in international cricket across all formats.
Reddy's international debut took place in a T20I series against Bangladesh last year, where he made a notable impact with a score of 74 in New Delhi. He has now been selected for India's upcoming five-match T20I series against England, commencing on January 22 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
