Summary
- Rohit Sharma presents ODI debut cap to 22-year-old all-rounder Nitish Reddy
- Rohit confident Reddy will become an "all-format great" in his career
- Reddy's ODI debut overshadowed by India's series-opening defeat against Australia
On October 20th, 2025, former Indian captain Rohit Sharma bestowed the ODI debut cap upon rising star Nitish Reddy, delivering a heartfelt speech that emphasized the 22-year-old all-rounder's burgeoning talent and bright future. Sharma praised Reddy's attitude and approach to the game, stating that he is "110 per cent sure" the youngster will become an "all-format great" as he progresses in his career.
Reddy, who had previously broken into the Indian Test team at the same venue in Perth last year, received his first ODI cap ahead of the series-opening match against Australia. However, the debutant's milestone was overshadowed by India's defeat in the match, which yielded more lessons than laurels for the all-rounder.
Despite the team's loss, Sharma's confidence in Reddy's potential remains unwavering. The former skipper expressed his belief that the young cricketer's desire to excel in all formats will propel him to great heights in the Indian team in the years to come.
