Nitish Kumar Reddy’s Unfortunate Dismissal

It was an unfortunate event for India as Nitish Kumar Reddy was bowled out by England’s fast bowler Chris Woakes with a brilliant delivery. Nitish contributed only one run to the innings. His dismissal was another setback for the Indian team, especially since Rishabh Pant had already been dismissed for just 25 runs earlier.
