After having finished as finalists in the last edition of IPL, Nitish Kumar Reddy, the versatile of Sunrisers Hyderabad, believes that the only unfinished company for the franchise is to raise the trophy this season. SRH experienced a difficult start in the 2025 IPL season when they have lost their last two games and are placed in eighth place in the ranking. They will seek to add two points against the reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders in Eden Gardens on Thursday, in a revenge of the IPL 2024 final. “To be honest, I have never set personal objectives, even when I played for India or in IPL last year. The only unfinished company is to raise the trophy. We have created the story with certain records, but our ultimate goal is to win the title IPL And to add a second star to the inheritance of SRH, “said Reddy on the Jiohotstar ‘Gen Bold’ show.
Thinking about his growth since the breakthrough last season, where he scored 303 points in 13 games for SRH and made his debut in India in T20i and Test formats, Reddy said: “I am very satisfied with the progress I made, both in my performances for my country and my IPL franchise. I want to continue to deliver my performance.
“However, I don’t want to let it happen to my head. Going forward, I want to play with the same passion and the same consistency, whether for my franchise or in India. My goal remains on keeping my love for life cricket.”
The 21 -year -old praised the leadership skills of Pat Cummins and described him as a calm and composed captain. “He is an extremely calm and composed leader. The way he manages the pressure is remarkable. When you see your captain managing things so well, that breathes confidence in the whole group.”
“His composure helps us to believe that we can always make a comeback. As a captain, he is brilliant and I really like to play under his direction,” said Reddy.
In SRH’s explosive programming, he added: “I would evaluate my team very strongly. We had an incredible season last year, and we want to reproduce this success. Our strategy is simple – play with a free spirit, maximize the races in the power game, and wear this momentum in another great season.”
Reddy chose Kagiso Rabada as the most difficult bowler to face in IPL and said that to face him was a difficult challenge.
“I guess I started to better understand the queries now. Just as they study my game, I also analyze theirs. My approach will remain the same, but I will adapt to situations as required. Last year, I did not play the first four games, but when I did it, I found Kagiso Rabada particularly difficult. When we played against Punjab, it was very expressive on this guide Difficult for me, “he said.
