Nitish Kumar Reddy’s name was etched onto the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) honours board after his maiden Test century against Australia during the Boxing Day Test. Nitish once again played a fighting knock, this time taking the game to the next level with an incredible century.

Known for his amazing fighting spirit, Reddy excelled in the lower-middle order, scoring three 40s in previous matches before his remarkable century. Alongside Washington Sundar, he shared a crucial 127-run partnership, facing 176 balls and hitting 10 fours and a six. This remarkable achievement secured his place on the prestigious honours board.

The MCG honours board celebrates players who achieve significant milestones, such as centuries or five-wicket hauls, in Tests and ODIs.

Let’s take a look at the Indian players who have made it to the MCG Honours Board
