In game 50 of the IPL 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad rookie Nitish Kumar Reddy came up to laud experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his match-winning performance against the Rajasthan Royals. The bowlers for SRH did a fantastic job of keeping the target in tact after the team scored 201 runs overall.
Because of his performance, Kumar was named the Player of the Match. Kumar played a key role in SRH winning the match by taking three wickets while giving up 41 runs. The seasoned bowler also dismissed Rovman Powell, preventing two runs from being scored off the final ball.
Nitish Kumar Reddy expressed his happiness at winning the match and talked about how he felt secure after watching the seasoned bowler deliver the game’s last over.

“I was observing the bowling match.” I had a sense of assurance that Bhuvneshwar would succeed when I saw that he would bowl. He had done it a great deal in his heyday. I had assumed that we would either lose or draw. I had not expected that we would win. But as India Today reported, Nitish said during the post-game press conference, “I was really thrilled to get that wicket on the last ball.
Nitish Kumar Reddy: My responsibility is to continue until the 13th and 14th.
Nitish also considered his position within the SRH roster. The boy discussed how, in their previous games, the team was losing early wickets. Heinrich Klaasen would be free to play aggressively, though, if he could continue until the 13th or 14th over.
We are losing wickets quickly and I have to leave the team after the last two games. My task is to continue until the 13th and 14th are completed so that Klaasen can obtain a licence to perform. The fact that Klaasen and Samad arrive early but are unable to score easily is meaningless, according to Nitish.
