Watch: Reddy Slams Maiden Test 50, Celebrates With Iconic 'Pushpa' Move

Nitish Reddy played a sensational knock to bail India out of trouble during the fourth Test between India and Australia at Melbourne. Walking in to bat with India struggling at 191/6 and still trailing Australia by 283 runs, Reddy played a phenomenal counter-attacking knock. The 21-year-old, who has made a huge impression in this series with the bat, put up a half-century, ending on an unbeaten 85 at the Tea break. He celebrated his fifty in style, replicating the iconic 'Pushpa' celebration, taken from Telugu film 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' starring Allu Arjun.

The 'Pushpa' celebration and signature action done by Indian actor Allu Arjun in the film has gone viral in recent weeks, with several popular celebrities recreating the move. Nitish Reddy joins the list of people to do so.

Reddy, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, will be particularly familiar with a film like 'Pushpa' as the region speaks the same language, Telugu.
