After having an impressive 2024 season and even representing India, he struggled to find his rhythm with SRH. Throughout 13 games, he hardly bowled, and injuries had put his spot in the national team in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>However, everything changed on April 2 at Eden Gardens. Nitish delivered a standout performance, scoring 39 runs and forming a key partnership of 82 runs with Heinrich Klaasen, helping SRH set a formidable total of 226 runs in their innings. Later, in a tight situation during KKR&#8217;s chase, he made critical breakthroughs, taking the wicket of Anukul Roy followed by Rinku Singh, securing the win for SRH with impressive bowling figures of 2 for 17.<\/p>\n<p>After being named the Player of the Match, Nitish expressed his joy, stating, \u201cThis match-winning performance is what I\u2019ve been waiting for. Thankfully, I could deliver when it mattered most.\u201d He added that the success had boosted his confidence, especially in his bowling.<\/p>\n<h3>Overcoming Challenges<\/h3>\n<p>Nitish faced significant challenges in 2025, suffering three injuries that interrupted his progress, causing his tours to England and Australia to end early. He had a tough IPL season as well, managing only 182 runs and taking two wickets.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his struggles, Nitish admitted he was troubled by negative thoughts, but he approached the situation positively. \u201cThe previous season didn\u2019t go well for me, and the injuries affected my game. I spent time working on my bowling during the break before the IPL season, and it\u2019s paying off,\u201d he said, expressing gratitude toward his trainers and physios for keeping him fit.<\/p>\n<p>With this victory, SRH gains momentum as they prepare for their upcoming match against LSG on April 5. <\/p>\n<h3>Upcoming Matches<\/h3>\n<p>This exciting win sets SRH on a positive path as they look ahead in IPL 2026. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ends &#8211; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Published on: April 3, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nitish Kumar Reddy Shines in SRH&#8217;s Victory Over KKR In a crucial match against KKR, Nitish Kumar Reddy was eager to prove himself once again.
