Irfan Pathan Questions Nitish Kumar Reddy's Role Ahead of IPL 2026

Irfan Pathan's throwing shade on Nitish Kumar Reddy’s form is the last thing Sunrisers Hyderabad needed ahead of their IPL 2026 opener against RCB. Reddy's past accolades, like being the emerging player of the year in 2024, are now overshadowed by a nightmare season that saw his runs drop faster than a pie chucker's last delivery.

Despite boasting over 300 runs two seasons ago, his strike rate plummeted and his average fell off a cliff. SRH fans are sweating bullets as they prepare for this clash, wondering if Reddy can turn it around or if he’ll sink like a lead balloon. The pressure is on for him to rediscover the magic that once had him flying high.

As the defending champions RCB come to town, all eyes will be on Reddy. Can he step up and silence the critics, or will he be the weak link in an otherwise solid SRH line-up? March 28 is looming large, and the stakes have never been higher!
