India's Nitish Kumar Reddy Shines in Melbourne Test

In a tense final day of the Test match in Melbourne, India showed resilience with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant fighting hard to avoid defeat against Australia. Jaiswal scored his 14th Test fifty, while Pant provided support, although India's position remained precarious at 112/3, needing 228 runs to win with 38 overs left. Earlier in the match, a crucial 127-run partnership between Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy helped India recover from 221/7, with Reddy scoring his maiden Test century and becoming the third youngest Indian to do so in Australia. This partnership shifted the momentum in favor of India, who ended Day 3 at 358/9, trailing by 116 runs. The performances of the young players like Reddy and Sundar have become the focal point amidst concerns over the fading form of veteran players. Despite a challenging start, India's young talents have ignited hope for a competitive finish in the series.
