4th Test, Day 3: Nitish Reddy Breaks Multiple Records vs Australia

Nitish Kumar Reddy is the first Indian to hit eight sixes in a single series in Australia. Now, he is also the holder of the record joint-most sixes by a visiting batter.

Before him, Michael Vaughan (2002-03 Ashes) and Chris Gayle (2009-10) hit eight sixes in a single series in Australia.

He also stitched an 127-run partnership with Washington Sundar. This is the second highest partnership for 8th wicket or lower for India in Australia.

Then Nitish Reddy went on to complete his maiden ton in 171 balls. This is the first century by any Indian No. 8 batter in Australia.

At 21 years 216 days, Nitish Kumar Reddy is the third youngest at the time of maiden Test century for India in Australia.

The youngest India to score maiden ton against Australia is the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. He was 18 years 256 days old.
