Pat Cummins' applause for Nitish Reddy's maiden Test century at the MCG showcased true sportsmanship. The SRH teammates shared a moment of mutual respect, as Cummins celebrated Reddy's stellar knock with heartfelt claps.

Nitish Kumar Reddy became the first Indian No.8 to score a Test century in Australia. Nitish's incredible innings not only helped India save follow-on, but nearly helped India massively cut down the deficit against Australia's massive first innings total of 474.

Nitish Kumar Reddy's score at stumps on the third day of the MCG Test is the highest for batter from No. 8 or lower in Tests in Melbourne. Australian Reggie Duff's 104 from No. 10 in 1902 was the previous highest.
