India lost the South Africa tour, and several cricket enthusiasts have been blaming someone or something for the losses. For the former World Cup winner from India, one of the reasons is the unwanted burden of Nitish Kumar Reddy, who does not have any proper role to play in the Indian team.
Former team India batter Kris Srikkanth has questioned his selection and has claimed that the all-rounder himself lacks clarity over his role within the team.
India were batting in front of a mammoth target of 549, as they already knew that they could not do much more than try to urge a draw in the game, and for that they needed to bat for 7-8 hours on the final day of play. He pointed out that Indian batters were dismissed in the dressing room itself due to the fear of getting dismissed.
Kris Srikkanth questions Nitish Kumar Reddy's role in the Indian team
Picked as an all-rounder, Nitish Kumar Reddy neither bowls more than 10 overs a game nor does he bat anywhere before no. 8. This has led to a huge question over what his actual function is within the team.
"Nitish Kumar Reddy, after Australia, has had a total slide. The knocks against the West Indies, I don't take them seriously. You can't consider him as a batter or a bowler because he hardly bowls. If you say he is a pure batter, he is coming at number eight. There is confusion, and that poor boy is also under stress and is fighting for his place. I am not blaming him, but blaming the system," he said through the aforementioned source.

He has also pointed out that if needed, India should consider bringing Virat Kohli back out of retirement in order to add stability to the Indian batting lineup.
"You might think, what am I saying we did well in England. Yes, I am not saying no. But the point is, there is no stable batter apart from Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Pant. Everybody is playing for their place. The right word for the problem is insecurity," he said.
