India Coach Warns Nitish Reddy After Poor Performance: 'Not Doing A Heck Of A Lot'

  • Allrounder Nitish Reddy failed to impress in India's seven-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the second ODI at Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot.
  • Reddy scored 20 off 21 balls and bowled two wicketless overs after being brought into the playing XI due to Washington Sundar’s injury.
  • Indian assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate expressed concern that Reddy hasn't justified the opportunities given despite multiple chances.
  • Doeschate emphasized that Reddy, a 22-year-old, needs to seize chances to secure his place, especially in situations like the recent match.
  • The coach also admitted India's error in playing an extra pacer, as conditions in Rajkot favored slow bowlers, suggesting another spinner would have been beneficial.

Why It Matters: India's assistant coach warns Nitish Reddy to perform better and seize opportunities after consistent underperformance.
