What is latest on Konstas vs Kohli saga?

Sam Konstas's competitive nature aligns with that of Virat Kohli and it would not be surprising if the two share a laugh about the shoulder-barging episode before posing for a photo after the Boxing Day Test, reckoned former Australia pacer Stuart Clark.

 

Kohli had intentionally bumped Konstas during the ongoing fourth Test at Melbourne, an act for which he copped a 20 percent fine from the ICC, besides getting booed by the Australian fans.

 

But Clark, who played 28 Tests for Australia, these two ultra-competitive sportspersons will gel well eventually.

Nitish Kumar Reddy: The story of sacrifice, belief and perseverance

India, after two tiresome days in Melbourne, finally secured a day of dominance in the ongoing Test. India started the day with an overnight score of 164 for 5 and added 194 more runs to their total, with the loss of 4 more wickets, to end the day with 358 for 9 on the board. However, the biggest highlight of the day was the maiden ton from 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy, who scored an unbeaten 105 runs out of India’s 194 runs on day 3 to help shift the momentum of the match in their favour.

A father's unwavering belief

 

Reddy’s father, Mutyala, took a life-changing risk when he opted for voluntary retirement from Hindustan Zinc, rejecting a transfer to Udaipur due to its lack of cricketing facilities. He invested his retirement payout in a micro-financing business that ultimately failed, leaving the family in financial distress. Despite criticism from relatives, Mutyala remained steadfast in his belief that his son’s talent would shine through.

 

As a 12-year-old, Reddy overheard relatives mocking his father’s failed venture. He resolved to redeem his father’s reputation by earning an India call-up, a dream he pursued relentlessly even when the family could afford only one cricket bat a year.
