章節 96: Chapter 94
The buzz around the T20 series between India and England was palpable. Cricket fans across the world were eagerly awaiting the clash between the two powerhouses of the game. For Nitish Reddy, the series was an opportunity to prove himself on the international stage. However, fate had other plans.
As the teams were announced, the news of Nitish's omission left everyone stunned. After his remarkable performances in the IPL, Syed Mustaq Ali Trophy, and the Test series against Australia, it seemed like a no-brainer to include him in the T20 squad. But somehow, the selectors had chosen to overlook him.
Cricket pundits and fans were left scratching their heads in confusion. How could someone with such consistent performances be left out? Many believed that Nitish deserved a chance to showcase his skills at the highest level. The disappointment was evident in the cricketing fraternity, but Nitish remained undeterred.
In the days leading up to the series, Nitish continued to work hard on his game. He was not one to be disheartened by setbacks, and he knew that his time would come. He kept honing his skills, putting in extra hours at the nets, and working on his fitness.
But fate had a twist in store for Nitish. Just a few days before the series, Ravindra Jadeja, India's star all-rounder, suffered an injury, and a replacement was needed. The selectors had a tough decision to make, and they deliberated long and hard before making the call.
In a surprising turn of events, Nitish Reddy received a phone call from the national selectors. He had been chosen as the replacement for Ravindra Jadeja in the T20 series against England. The news left him overwhelmed with emotions. The disappointment of not being initially selected was replaced by a surge of excitement and pride.
"I knew my time would come," Nitish thought to himself. "I just need to make the most of this opportunity."
He knew that replacing someone like Jadeja was no easy task. The pressure was immense, but Nitish was ready to embrace the challenge. He packed his bags and headed to join the Indian squad, filled with a sense of determination and gratitude.
As he entered the Indian team's camp, Nitish was greeted warmly by the familiar faces of his fellow teammates. The senior players welcomed him with open arms, and he felt a sense of belonging. He was aware that he needed to prove himself, not just to the selectors but also to his teammates.
In the first practice session with the team, Nitish gave his all. He bowled with pace and precision, showing the selectors why he had earned the call-up. He batted with aggression, displaying the same form that had earned him accolades in the domestic circuit. His fielding was sharp and energetic, leaving no doubt about his commitment to the game.
As the series commenced, Nitish was eager to make an impact. He knew that every opportunity at this level was precious, and he wanted to make the most of it. His debut match was a dream come true, and he couldn't wait to don the Indian jersey in front of his home crowd.
