Nitish Kumar Reddy vs Tilak Varma: two young India batters with different jobs
By the CricketDream editorial team. Facts checked against official records on . How our data works
Tilak is a specialist left-handed batter who made hundreds in consecutive T20Is in South Africa in November 2024 and won the 2025 Asia Cup final against Pakistan with 69. Nitish is a seam-bowling all-rounder whose best day so far came in a Test: a hundred from No. 8 at the MCG in December 2024.
They are compared because they were born six months apart and broke through in the same IPL seasons, Tilak at Mumbai Indians and Nitish at Sunrisers Hyderabad. In an India side they would rarely fight for the same place.
