India Coach Highlights Nitish Kumar Reddy's Limited Impact and Rohit Sharma's Match Practice Concerns

Indian assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate expressed concern over all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy's limited impact despite multiple opportunities, noting his recent performance in the second ODI against New Zealand where he scored 20 runs and took no wickets. Ten Doeschate suggested that a third spinner might have been a better choice given the pitch conditions. He also mentioned that Rohit Sharma remains short on match practice, affecting his form. Earlier, Nitish had shown promise during India's 2024 Test tour of Australia but has struggled to secure a consistent role in limited-overs formats.
