Euphoria engulfed the Indian team and fans worldwide as they witnessed a batting masterclass from the youngster. Nitish's celebration after his half-century had a 'Pushpa' touch to it, but his century celebration was even more remarkable. He knelt, planted his bat on the ground, and placed his helmet on the handle, symbolising a special gesture.

India's Nitish Kumar Reddy hits 11 boundaries as he records his first Test century on the third day of the fourth Test against Australia.

By the end of Day 3, India had rallied to 358/9, but still trails Australia's first-innings total by 116 runs with Reddy standing unbeaten with Mohammed Siraj. Reddy's unbeaten knock of 105 runs from 176 balls included 10 fours and one six, maintaining a strike rate of 59.66.
