Career overview
How the India career developed.
This overview connects role, debuts and format context using the dated records listed below.
Nitish Kumar Reddy’s profile is built around a two-skill role: top- and middle-order batting supported by right-arm seam. His age-group breakthrough and 2024 franchise season moved him into India’s T20I and Test plans during the same calendar year.
The Perth Test debut and MCG century gave his first Australia tour a clear red-ball narrative. His ODI debut followed in October 2025, so all three format tables now carry distinct match samples and source dates.
The September 2026 BCCI squad listing contains a fitness qualifier. This page keeps that wording visible and does not convert squad selection into a playing XI claim.

Format lens
Read each format on its own terms.
Short context cards explain what the dated figures do—and do not—show.
The ODI sample covers six matches through June 2026.
The T20I sample is small and ends in January 2025, so it should not be read as a live total.
International statistics
Tests, ODIs and T20Is separated.
Career totals use the latest match date shown by the checked player record. Formats may have different snapshot dates.
| Format | Matches | Runs | 100s | 50s | Wickets | Through |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 10 | 396 | 1 | 0 | 8 | 22 Nov 2025 |
| ODIs | 6 | 100 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 20 Jun 2026 |
| T20Is | 4 | 90 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 22 Jan 2025 |
These are format-specific snapshots, not one combined career number. A format without a debut is stated plainly instead of displaying a misleading zero-match career.
