Nitish Kumar Reddy is the youngest cricketer to be playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at only 21 years old. The all-rounder from Andhra Pradesh has already carved a successful path for himself with his remarkable performance. Amid the ongoing IPL, Reddy recently shared an unforgettable moment from his teens involving none other than Bollywood actress, Anusha Sharma. The rising cricket star recalled the time he badly wanted to get a picture with Virat Kohli, and it was Anushka who stepped in to make it happen, without him even approaching her for it.
Nitish Reddy recalls his fanboy moment with Virat Kohli
During a chat on Puma’s YouTube Channel, Nitish reminisced about attending the Naman Under-16 Awards when he was just 16 years old. He was seated near ace cricketer, Virat Kohli and wanted to make this opportunity worthwhile. Being a fan of Kohli, Nitish desperately wanted to click a picture with the cricketing legend. However, with tight security and Kohli’s star status at its peak, getting close was nearly impossible. He somehow managed to click a selfie with Kohli in the background without him noticing. Reddy shared:
“I was 16 at that time, and I wanted a proper photo with him [Virat Kohli], but I can’t keep myself holding, of not taking a picture. He was sitting right behind me and at that time, I didn’t have a phone as well. I got my mama’s phone and he was there with me. I took his phone and I was taking selfie like this (from the background). I don’t want him to notice that I am taking a selfie.”
