Nitish Reddy Sudini Eyes MLC U-19 World Cup Inspired by Gayle
India U-19 cricketer Nitish Reddy Sudini has set his sights on Major League Cricket after impressing at the ongoing U-19 World Cup this month, drawing motivation from his late father’s dream and West Indies great Chris Gayle. The young batter is part of India’s campaign at the ICC tournament, where his aggressive style has stood out.
Sudini has played key knocks for India, scoring briskly in the middle order and showing confidence against pace and spin. “I play with freedom because that’s how my father wanted me to play,” Sudini said in an interview with Times of India. He added that Gayle’s fearless batting shaped his mindset: “I love how he dominates bowlers.”
India’s support staff praised his attitude, with a coach noting he “brings intent and calm together”. As India push for another U-19 title, Sudini hopes strong performances can open doors to MLC and the next level of professional cricket.
