Day 3 of the ongoing fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 had many moments for the fans to remember. However, the most memorable of all was the moment when 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy scored his maiden Test ton at the MCG in front of his friends and family.
After his century, in heartwarming scenes, Nitish’s family was captured meeting up with former India batter Sunil Gavaskar. In a wholesome gesture, Nitish’s father, Mutyalu Reddy, bowed down and touched Gavaskar’s feet as a symbol of respect towards the legendary batter.
After that moment, Gavaskar went on to hug Nitish’s father as well. The clip of the same has been going viral all over social media.
