Nitish Kumar Reddy, a batter, has played four IPL seasons, all of them with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The arrival

Nitish Kumar Reddy arrived through the auction: Sunrisers Hyderabad paid ₹20 lakh, the base price.

That first season brought 2 matches. The best was still to come.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2024, for Sunrisers Hyderabad: 303 runs at an average of 33.7, striking at 142.9 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 150.6, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 76 not out.

Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2026: 302 runs at a strike rate of 171.6, 15 runs per hundred balls quicker than the IPL as a whole that year.

With the ball, the best season was 2026, for Sunrisers Hyderabad: 8 wickets at 10.36 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.73, with best figures of 2 for 17.

One franchise

Nitish Kumar Reddy has spent the whole IPL career with Sunrisers Hyderabad, from 2023 to 2026.

Bat, ball and method

Across the career, Nitish Kumar Reddy has struck at 145.5. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 153.2, so Nitish Kumar Reddy has scored about 8 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 60% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 50 fours and 46 sixes.

The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 31.8% of the balls Nitish Kumar Reddy faced were dot balls, a lower share than 86% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 11.8 balls, and a four every 10.8.

With the ball, 13 wickets in 328 deliveries, at 10.55 runs an over against a league rate of 9.53 for the same seasons: 1.02 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 22 catches and 2 run-outs.
