India’s seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who achieved a hat-trick for Andhra within the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League stage, emphasised the importance of at all times giving one’s best effort, expressing joy in delivering strong performances on the sphere.
On the DY Patil Academy Ground in Ambi, Reddy took a hat-trick against Madhya Pradesh, although his team ultimately lost. His impressive feat resulted in figures of 3-17, marking his best performance in T20 cricket.
“It’s never a straightforward tournament to play – Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It’s at all times been a top league as well. So you’ve to provide your best, irrespective of what. That is my first hat-trick in senior age group and one I even have got before, but it surely’s a fairly same feeling.” Reddy was quoted as saying in a video posted by the BCCI on their domestic cricket social media accounts on Saturday.
“I mean, I at all times feel comfortable after I perform for my state or any team. So giving my best is what I can do and I’m feeling so proud,” he added.
Reddy’s hat-trick got here within the third over when he dismissed Harsh Gawli, Harpreet Bhatia, and Rajat Patidar. He highlighted the importance of planning, belief, and execution in achieving a memorable hat-trick.
“I believed that on the third ball, I even have to get my scrambled ball to are available in very sharply. It got here in and you may see that inside edge – that’s what happened.”
“Once we faced them in Ranji Trophy qualifiers, and that point I got him out similarly. I suppose it was a bowled dismissal – going through the bat-pad gap. I used to be attempting to do the identical thing, but this time it was a bit short. However the movement was pretty similar. I mean, it got here a bit of bit in, and the within edge I got was pretty good.”
“The plan was to hit it top of off stump and if I could get some movement from there, it will be ok. I got some movement from there and that’s where I got my 3 wickets. I attempted to bowl into the wicket and I got the primary ball to hit the highest of off stump, and second ball, scrambled one, going a bit of bit away and did enough to get the sting. The third one was also a scrambled one and it did very much enough to take the within edge,” he concluded.
