New Delhi [India], : Sunrisers Hyderabad's rising all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy expressed his interest in batting against India's premier speedster Jasprit Bumrah and handpicked the "golden assets" to the nation's cricket. He was speaking on Jio Hotstar.

Nitish grew in popularity after thriving for the explosive Sunrisers in the last edition of the Indian Premier League . But he truly found stardom in front of a sold-out crowd at the iconic MCG with a blistering century against India in the Boxing Day Test at the end of last year.

Nitish, 21, has a long road ahead of him. He has taken formidable steps towards establishing himself as an all-round prospect who is capable of taking the brunt with the ball if the situation demands it.

The young sensation, who idolises stalwart Virat Kohli, believes the current generation of Indian talent has been shaped by him, Bumrah, and captain Rohit Sharma.

"This generation of Indian cricket has been shaped by legends like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and others. They have taken Indian cricket to new heights, and we aspire to carry forward their legacy. Players like Jasprit, Rohit and Virat are truly golden assets to India," he added.
