Sunil Gavaskar Left Stunned By India Star's Reverse Scoop Against Australia: "Fearlessness..."

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar was left stunned by Nitish Reddy's reverse scoop during Day 1 of the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday. In the 42nd over of the Indian innings, Scott Boland bowled a length delivery just outside the off-stump and Nitish decided to try out an unorthodox approach against the ball. He assumed the stance quite quickly and scooped the ball over the slip fielders for a six. It was one of the longest parts of the ground and the shot even left Jasprit Bumrah amused on the non-striker end. During an analysis on Star Sports, Gavaskar was all praise for the youngster and said that his approach shows the "fearlessness of youth" even in Test cricket.
