IPL talks Harry Brooke wandered Nitish Reddy’s attention and Vox took the wicket and took advantage; VIDEO
Harry Brook distracted Nitish Reddy: On the last day of Lord’s Test, when India needed to handle, Harry Brook of England resorted to sledging and shaken the mental concentration of Nitish Kumar Reddy. Brook, who was a fellow of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, repeatedly instigated Nitish and taunted the ‘Yeh IPL’. Its effect was also done just before lunch, Nitish was dismissed and the last hope of India’s victory was also shaken.
On Monday, July 14, Nitish Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja were responsible for taking out India out of the difficult situation on the fifth day of the Lord’s Test. But as soon as Brooke came into the slip, he started slicing Nitish continuously, “It is not an IPL, now all run Jadeja will have to be made.”
In the IPL, the two players have played together for Sunrisers Hyderabad, but Brooke also made the dressing room on the field and made the atmosphere more taunted. On one occasion, he even said, “He used to live quietly in SRH, now what have you become?” Initially, Nitish looked calm but the pressure continued to affect inside. Chris Woakes bowled a ball outward, Nitish wanted to play soft touch in the off side, but the ball went into the hands of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith.
The perfect end to the morning session 😍

The wicket fell just before lunch, and with this, India’s Jadeja-Reddy partnership also ended. Due to which India won as well as the expectations of drawing a draw. Jadeja is fighting alone on the field, but only Bumrah and Siraj are left with him. In such a situation, saving matches for India will not be less than a miracle.
At the same time, England now looks completely dominated and stands on the threshold of victory in Lord’s to take an edge in the series. Nitish’s wicket can prove to be the turning point of this Test.
