Nitish Kumar Reddy Breaks Silence On Reports Of Sunrisers Hyderabad Exit Over 'Role' Row
I tend to stay away from the noise, but some things deserve clarity. My connection with SRH is built on trust, respect, and years of shared passion.
I'll always stand by this team.
— Nitish Kumar Reddy (@NKReddy07) July 27, 2025
According to a report by India Today, Reddy is looking for a new start as he is not happy with his role at SRH. Reddy was retained by the Hyderabad-based franchise at Rs 6 crore ahead of the mega auction of IPL 2025.
In the 2024 season, Reddy had an amazing outing with 303 runs in 13 matches and also took three wickets. However, he failed to repeat his heroics in 2025 as he scored only 182 runs in 13 games.
The report also stated that Reddy had conveyed to SRH that he wanted to bat at No.4 in the 2025 season and his request was accepted by the franchise. However, the pitch conditions forced them to bring in Heinrich Klaasen at No.4, pushing Reddy down at 5 and sometimes even 6 or 7.
Talking about Reddy, the all-rounder is also going through a legal trouble as his former agent filed a petition against him, asking him to clear his dues of Rs 5 crore.
According to some sources of India Today, Reddy opted for a new manager during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia, ending his four-year relationship with Square The One. However, the agency has now accused him for not clearing the dues.
A petition under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act has been filed by Square The One Private Limited, accusing the Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder of breaching the management agreement and non-payment of dues.

Asia Cup 2025: Indian Selectors Face Tough Decisions As Shubhman Gill's Inclusion Splits Opinion, Samson's Spot Under Threat
Asia Cup 2025: The focus has now shifted to the Asia Cup 2025, which kicks off on September 9 in the UAE. The Indian selectors will meet later this month to finalise a 15-member squad, with the official announcement expected in the third week of August. Several positions remain contested, creating a tough balancing act for the selection committee. Selectors Split Over Shubman Gill's Inclusion In a significant development, a Telegraph report revealed that the selectors are divided over Shubman Gill's place in the Asia Cup squad. Gill has been in red-hot form, emerging as one of the top scorers in the IPL and finishing as the leading run-getter in the recently concluded Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy. While some selectors believe Gill deserves a spot in the T20 squad, others are hesitant, citing concerns that a switch to the shortest format could disrupt his rhythm and alter the team's structure. Another factor under consideration is workload management, with India's West Indies Test series scheduled to begin just a week after the Asia Cup. If Gill is picked, either Sai Sudharsan or Yashasvi Jaiswal both of whom impressed in the IPL may have to make way. Sanju Samson Faces Competition for Wicketkeeper Slot Even Sanju Samson's position is far from secure, despite being the favourite for the wicketkeeper-batter role. The report suggests that Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel are also strong contenders, pushing hard for a place in the squad. Siraj and Bumrah May Be Rested Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj could be given a break after a demanding series against England. The management is keen on resting the pace duo to keep them fresh for upcoming assignments. Spin Department Sparks Interest; Kuldeep's Omission Raises Eyebrows According to the report, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel are near certainties, with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi expected to be named as specialist spinners. However, there is no mention of Kuldeep Yadav, India's premier spinner in recent times, leading to speculation about possible surprises in the spin department.

‘Are you not good enough, boss?: Sanju Samson opens up on self-doubt, comeback struggles in international cricket
India wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson opened up about his struggles in international cricket, a phase marked by self-doubt and challenges in making a comeback. Having made his international debut in 2015 at the age of 20 against Zimbabwe in Harare as an injury replacement for Ambati Rayudu, Samson's career since then has been stop-start, taking five years for him to earn his next national call-up. 'Talking about the environment in Kerala, breaking into the Indian team was itself a very big thing to me. And I had played for 2-3 years, and I was like, 'You played for the country, boss well done,' but then I realised that I couldn't be satisfied with just this. It wasn't enough at all so I started thinking, 'What else, what else, what else,'' Samson told Ravichandran Ashwin on his YouTube channel. 'I had already made my debut when I was 20. It took around 5 years to make my next comeback. So, that was the next big dream… I wanted to make a big comeback into the side. That took a lot of work, physically and mentally,' he added. Samson then revealed how he failed to deliver after his comeback, producing a string of low scores against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. 'I scored a 200 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy that's when I made this comeback. I had that confidence, and after that, I got two games in New Zealand and one game in Pune. I didn't perform there, and I went back with a lot of self-doubt. My confidence was shattered, and I was thinking on the lines of, 'Everyone trusted you, and you didn't score.' You feel angry about yourself,' Samson admitted. When Ashwin asked how he handles blows to his confidence, Samson replied: 'That's something that has constantly been happening to me. And you rightly observed, right from 2014, you think you have come to the Indian team and now everything will start happening. You get the feel that you waited for this, and you are ready for this. Suddenly, unexpected things happen. But you believe that next time you will do better, and what if you flop the next time, too? You definitely go through a very big self-doubt phase.' 'Are you not good enough, boss? A lot of people say, 'Sanju, they might have played you, or they didn't play you, they are doing this, they are doing that.' There will be 10,000 people giving you advice,' he added.
