Nitish Kumar Reddy has played only two test matches so far and he has earned a big name in that short period of time. In just 3 innings, this player showed that he is a long race horse. After the Perth Test, he also made an important contribution with the bat in the first innings of the Adelaide Test. Meanwhile, the big news for Nitish Kumar Reddy and his fans is that he will soon get a reward from BCCI and this reward will be a contract worth Rs 1 crore. Now you will think why BCCI will give a contract of Rs 1 crore to Nitish Kumar Reddy, then let us tell you the answer.
Nitish Kumar Reddy will get Rs 1 crore because of a rule of BCCI. Reddy has currently played two Test matches, if he gets a chance to play in the third Test match also, then he will be eligible for BCCI contract. BCCI's rule is that if a player plays three Tests then he becomes entitled for a central contract. This means that it is certain that Reddy will get a Grade C contract. If Nitish Kumar Reddy gets Grade C contract, this player will earn Rs 1 crore annually. Apart from this, they will get separate money for playing matches. BCCI pays match fees of Rs 15 lakh for playing a Test match, Rs 6 lakh for an ODI and Rs 3 lakh for a T20.
Nitish Kumar Reddy is not going to face any problem in playing the third test on Australia tour. Team India has to play the next test in Gabba, Brisbane which will start from 14th December. Reddy's C grade central contract will be confirmed as soon as he appears in this test. Nitish Reddy has performed brilliantly so far. Nitish had played innings of 41 and 38 not out in Perth. Now he has scored 42 runs in the first innings of Adelaide, which has also become his best score in his Test career. If Nitish Reddy is promoted in the batting order in the upcoming matches, then this player has the potential to play even bigger innings.
