India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said that Nitish Kumar Reddy is a well-liked player in the Indian cricket circuit, and the popular belief is that he is a quality all-rounder.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Ryan ten Doeschate hinted at Jasprit Bumrah's participation in the second Test and talked about India's medium-term objective to develop a proper seam-bowling all-rounder. He said:
Nitish Kumar Reddy was part of the playing XI in the victory over the West Indies in the Ahmedabad Test, but he made close to no contribution in the game. He bowled four overs in the first innings of the West Indies and didn't bowl in the second innings, while not getting to bat in India's only innings. His biggest contribution in the match was a blinder he took to send back Tagenarine Chanderpaul.
We think he's a fantastic seam-bowling allrounder, a batter who bowls seam - Ryan ten Doeschate
"We think he's a fantastic seam-bowling allrounder, a batter who bowls seam. I think the biggest limitation to what his ceiling could be is going to be his body. He is not the first allrounder we've seen in this country whom that applies to; to be perfectly honest, Hardik [Pandya]'s in the same sort of character of player where we don't doubt their skills at all but for their bodies to hold up to Test cricket is a different matter.

Ryan ten Doeschate reveals why Nitish Kumar Reddy was slotted at No.8 vs WI
"The sort of lucky thing for us is Washy and Jaddu and even Axar [Patel] are pretty much the same sort of players. We feel they can bat anywhere from five all the way through to eight, and on the most recent evidence of Washy getting important runs in the UK, [and] obviously Jaddu's form in the last six months has been immense, and unfortunately that means when Nitish does come back into the team right after his injury, he fits in right at the back of that list, and hence the reason why he batted at eight," Ryan ten Doeschate stated.
Overall, the Andhra all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has featured in eight Test matches for India, scoring 343 and taking 8 wickets with the ball.
