Nitish Kumar Reddy has clarified that he intends to continue playing with Sunrisers Hyderabad and has no plans to move to any other team. His response comes after reports claimed that the Andhra Pradesh all-rounder could be looking to go to another team in IPL 2026. Nitish was among the players retained by SRH ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Nitish Reddy to not abandon SRH
Taking to social media platform X, Reddy categorically stated that his connection with SRH was based on trust, respect and shared passion. He vowed to stand by the team always. Nitish has currently returned to India after he was ruled out of the remainder of IND vs ENG Test series due to a knee injury.
“I tend to stay away from the noise, but some things deserve clarity. My connection with SRH is built on trust, respect, and years of shared passion. I’ll always stand by this team,” Nitish Reddy wrote.
Nitish made his debut for SRH in 2023. However, he had a breakout season in 2024, where he scored 303 runs and picked up three wickets. His performance in that season not only allowed his Team India debut to be fast-tracked but also earned the trust of the franchise. Reddy emerged as the one of the team’s most reliable all-rounders, especially with the bat.
Reddy was then retained for Rs 6 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. The recent edition of the tournament saw Nitish Reddy put up a sub-par peformance. He managed to score just 182 runs in 13 matches, averaging 22.75. He was hardly used with the ball in the season, bowling just six overs in which he picked up a couple of wickets.
