Kaki Nitish Kumar Reddy was born on May 26, 2003, in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. He began playing cricket at the early age of five, frequently visiting the Hindustan Zinc grounds to observe older players. His father, Mutyala Reddy, a former Hindustan Zinc employee, made the decision to quit his job and support Nitish’s cricketing ambitions when a transfer to Udaipur threatened to disrupt his son’s training. This pivotal decision allowed Nitish to train at VDCA camps under coaches Kumara Swamy, Krishna Rao, and Watekar, and later at the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) academy in Kadapa under Madhusudhana Reddy and Srinivasa Rao.
Reddy’s talent became evident during his youth career. In the 2017–18 Vijay Merchant Trophy, he scored 441 runs off 345 deliveries and accumulated a tournament-record 1237 runs at an average of 176.41, alongside taking 26 wickets. This performance earned him the BCCI ‘Best Cricketer in the Under-16’ Jagmohan Dalmiya award for the 2017–2018 season, making him the first player from the ACA to receive this honor. His professional career began with his debut for Andhra in domestic cricket, where he developed his skills as a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-fast bowler.
His impressive domestic performances led to his selection by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction for Rs. 20 lakh. While he played only two matches in his debut IPL season, bowling a few overs without a chance to bat, he had a breakthrough in the 2024 season. He delivered a standout performance, scoring 303 runs with a strike rate of 142 and taking 3 wickets, earning him the Emerging Player of the Year Award. His contributions, particularly crucial knocks against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, showcased his consistency. Following this, he was retained by SRH in the 2025 IPL Auction for Rs. 6 crores. Reddy made his T20I debut for India on October 6, 2024, against Bangladesh. He debuted in Test cricket for India on November 22, 2024, during the Border–Gavaskar Trophy series, and made his ODI debut on October 19, 2025, against Australia.
