Virat Kohli Gifted Shoes Nitish Reddy: Nitish Kumar Reddy, the rising star of Indian cricket. On his first Australian tour he scored a century at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Nitish’s father became emotional after seeing his son’s century. This young cricketer will probably remember that innings of 114 runs for the rest of his life. But Virat Kohli’s ‘shoes’ also contributed to this century. In fact, Nitish himself told that he scored a century wearing Virat’s shoes on the MCG ground.

Scored a century wearing Virat Kohli’s shoes

While discussing on a YouTube podcast, Nitish Reddy revealed, “Once in the locker room, Virat Kohli asked Sarfaraz Khan what his shoe size was? Sarfraz said ‘9’, then Virat looked at me, I started thinking, ‘Is this really going to happen to me?’ Even though those shoes were not my size, I still wanted them. I told him my size and said ’10’, then Virat gave me the shoes. I scored a century wearing those shoes in the very next match.

Was waiting only for Virat

Nitish Reddy also said that after the century played at the MCG, all the team members congratulated him, but he was waiting for just one person. Nitish said, “When Virat bhai came to me and said that I played well, that moment was very special for me.”

Talking about the present time, Nitish Reddy had a pain problem, due to which his playing in IPL 2025 was doubtful. The good thing is that he has got a clean chit from the BCCI’s Center of Excellence to play in IPL 2025. Sunrisers Hyderabad has retained him for Rs 6 crore for IPL 2025.
