Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) just got a big boost ahead of the IPL 2025 season. All-rounder Nitish Reddy has passed his fitness test after healing from a side strain injury.
He couldn’t play for India in the Champions Trophy because of this injury, but now he is back in shape and scored 18 on the Yo-Yo test, which measures fitness levels. His return is exciting for SRH, especially since they lost in the finals against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) last year.
With Reddy back, SRH improves its batting and bowling strength, making them a stronger candidate to win the IPL 2025 title. The IPL will start on March 22, and SRH aims to set things right after last year’s defeat.
Nitish, who was kept by SRH in the mega-auction, will join the team’s practice camp starting Sunday. He had a solid performance in the 2024 IPL season, scoring 303 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 142.2 and taking three wickets.
Recently, Reddy played a practice match and bowled without any pain. The BCCI medical team looked after him, but his recovery took longer than expected.
At just 25 years old, Reddy has already made a mark, debuting in a T20I against Bangladesh and impressing the selectors. He even became the first Indian to score a century in Australia while batting at No. 8 during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024.
Reddy started his IPL journey in 2023 but had a quiet season. However, last season he was crucial for SRH reaching the finals. With Reddy’s return, SRH is eager to kick off the IPL 2025 season strong.
