IPL Team Accused Of Under-Utilising India's MCG Hero vs Australia: "Forgotten That..."

South Africa legend and former Sunrisers Hyderabad player Dale Steyn has lashed out at the Indian Premier League side for under-utilising all-rounder Nitish Reddy. The India player, who starred for India against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground earlier this year, is a decent right-arm medium fast bowler. But, he is yet to bowl a single delivery this IPL season. Reddy -- a batting all-rounder -- holds an experience of playing 22 IPL matches. He has scalped three wickets in those matches. Steyn, who also served as SRH bowling coach in the past, slammed the side for not using Reddy as a bowler. His X post came during SRH's IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians on Thursday.

The star player played a massive role with his all-round abilities during India's Melbourne Test vs Australia, held December last year. In one of the innings, Reddy scored a heroic 114 while also bowling 8 economical overs.

As Reddy didn't get a chance to bowl against Mumbai Indians during SRH's IPL 2025 game on Thursday, Steyn took to X to write, "Have SRH just forgotten that Reddy can bowl...? 

Has a bit of a golden arm, absolutely worth an over or two."

In another post, he wrote, "If he's injured then it's understandable, but he seems to be batting just fine, so..."

Talking about the game, MI registered their third win of IPL 2025 season, defeating SRH by four wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. Chasing a target of 163, MI got over the line in 18.1 overs, handing SRH their fifth defeat of the campaign.

After the match, SRH captain Pat Cummins admitted that his side fell short with the bat on a tricky surface.

"Wasn't the easiest of wickets," Cummins said
