[WATCH] IPL 2025: Nitish Kumar Reddy throws helmet in angst after dismissal in SRH vs LSG clash

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy let his emotions get the better of him after being dismissed in the ongoing IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on Thursday. The youngster, who was looking to anchor his side’s innings, lost his wicket to Ravi Bishnoi and was visibly frustrated as he walked back to the pavilion, throwing his helmet in disappointment.

The right-handed batter walked in to bat under pressure after SRH lost early wickets. With most of the senior batters back in the dugout, the 21-year-old had the responsibility to bat deep into the innings. However, his stay at the crease was cut short in the 15th over when he misjudged a googly from Bishnoi.

On the first ball of the over, the leg spinner bowled a tossed-up delivery on the middle stump, which Nitish attempted to hit down the ground. However, he completely misread the googly, and the ball crashed into his middle stump. Nitish, who was frustrated with his misjudgment, was seen removing his helmet and throwing it away as he walked back to the pavilion. He made 32 runs off 28 balls, lacing his innings with two boundaries.
