The Indian cricket team landed in Hyderabad on Thursday, ready for the final T20I against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal. With a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, India will be aiming for a clean sweep to cap off their dominant performance against their rivals.
Led by the explosive Suryakumar Yadav, India has fielded a young, exciting squad in this series, with several fresh faces seizing the opportunity to shine on the international stage. One of the standout performers has been 21-year-old Nitish Reddy, who delivered a stellar all-round performance in the last match in New Delhi.
Nitish Reddy hammered a brilliant 74 off just 34 balls and backed it up with bowling figures of 2/23, showcasing his potential as a future star. Mayank Yadav, another debutant, has also caught attention with his express pace, consistently bowling in the high 140s and picking up two wickets across the series.
