Nitish Kumar Redd, the Indian all-rounder plays for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League and most of the people don't know that the youngster is a huge Virat Kohli fan since his childhood and recently fulfiled his dream of playing alongside his hero during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

His dad, also admires Nitish's choice, and recently on social media, there was a pic posted of Nitish Kumar Reddy's father wearing an RCB jersey in the gym. The image was posted from an account of Nitish Kumar Reddy, with a caption: "Wrong choice dad."

Did Nitish Reddy really posted for his father?

Interestingly, the account seemed legit at the first glance.  The account had 12.5K followers and seemed genuine. However, the interesting part is that it was a fan made account who just supported the Andhra batter and took a sly dig at RCB by mentioning that Nitish's father was wearing the wrong jersey.

It was more of a playful dig but the fans initially thought that Nitish had deliberately written the message to mock his father.

The star for SRH in the 2024 season, Nitish had a breakout season and was also fast-tracked in the Indian setup. He even scored a terrific century in the Melbourne Test as he made a name for himself in red-ball cricket.

However, this season has been different for the SRH batter. In 9 matches he has scored 152 runs, with a strike-rate of just 113.43. He will next be seen in action against the Gujarat Titans on Friday as the Sunrisers aim to bounce back in the tournament.
