Who is the next AB de Villiers on World Cricket: Former England cricketer Mark Nicholls has revealed the name of the player whom he considers to be the next AB de Villiers of world cricket. Seeing the batting of Nitish Kumar Reddy during the fourth Test match played between India and Australia, Mark Nicholls has compared him with AB. Regarding Nitish Kumar Reddy, Nicholas said, “His trigger movement reminds me of AB de Villiers. The way he goes back and presses forward, this player is similar to AB de Villiers. AB also used to score his runs with the help of these qualities and now Nitish Kumar Reddy is also doing the same. Speaking on Star Sports, Mark Nicholls further said, “I like his courage and ability to support himself. He doesn’t hesitate to go out on top and face the great Australian bowlers.”
Shastri further said, “You can keep your top six batsmen and then five specialist bowlers. That is the way forward. I want him to be among the top six batsmen from the next game.”
Let us tell you that Nitish Kumar Reddy has batted brilliantly in this series. Nitish had scored the first century of his Test career in Melbourne. Reddy has scored 294 runs in the 4 matches played so far. He is the second highest run scorer for India in the Border-Gavaskar Series 2024-25.
