There was no doubt about the abilities of Washington Sundar and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitish_Kumar_Reddy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nitish Kumar Reddy</a>’s batting. Despite playing his first Test series, the 21-year-old Reddy has always shown his incredible batting abilities according to the situation, and Sundar previously played important knocks with the bat. </p><p dir="ltr">Reddy and Sundar set a 127-run partnership for the eighth wicket to rescue the visitors.
