Pushpa makers react to Nitish Kumar Reddy's 'Thaggedhele' century celebration

Nitish Kumar Reddy held the Indian innings together with a remarkable ton in the ongoing fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The right-handed batter came into bat at number eight and scored his maiden Test century. He stitched a crucial 127-run partnership with Washington Sundar and saved India from being imposed a follow on. 

The century was the momentous occasion for the 21-year-old after he was applauded for his small cameos throughout the series. He played crucial roles down the order but failed to score a half century. After he got to his maiden century, he celebrated by doing the famous Telugu movie, Pushpa step. As the social media was flooded with his celebratory images, the makers of Pushpa replied to Nitish in style.

“#AssaluThaggedhele #Pushpa2 #WildFirePushpa,” Pushpa team captioned while sharing Nitish’s video.

“This is the first Test hundred and he is going to score many more in the near future. I am expecting to see him among the runs in the future. He is a star of Indian cricket,” said Gavaskar on Star Sports.

“However, he will have to remember the sacrifices made by his father and other members of the family. Nitish is here because of Indian cricket, and he will have to make sure that he doesn’t take Indian cricket for granted. If he stays true to himself, a successful career lies ahead of him,” he added.
