India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has broken silence on his future with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) amid the trade rumours.
According to a report from India Today, Nitish had expressed his desire to leave SRH over his role in the team, especially after being pushed down the batting order. However, the 22-year-old all-rounder on Sunday took to social media to give clarity on his future, saying that he will always stand by his current IPL team.
“I tend to stay away from the noise, but some things deserve clarity. My connection with SRH is built on trust, respect, and years of shared passion. I’ll always stand by this team,” wrote Reddy on his ‘X’ account.

Ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction, Nitish was retained by SRH at Rs six crore. It came after he amassed 303 runs in 13 matches and also took three wickets in IPL 2024, which paved his way for selection into India T20I and Test teams.
But Reddy failed to repeat his heroics in IPL 2025 – scoring only 182 runs in 13 games. He mostly batted at between No.5-No.7 positions which reduced his role as a batter. When it comes to his bowling, didn’t bowl a lot of overs due to his recovery from a side strain which kept him out of action after the first T20I against England earlier this year.

Notably, Nitish Kumar Reddy has returned back to home and is on road to recovery after sustaining a left knee injury while training in the gym at Manchester and was ruled out of the ongoing Test series against England.
“All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the remaining two Tests owing to a left knee injury. Nitish will fly back home, and the team wishes him a speedy recovery,” the BCCI said in its official statement ahead of the fourth Test in Manchester.
Reddy played two Tests in England, scoring 45 runs and taking three wickets before getting ruled out of the series. He wasn’t in the Indian playing XI in the first Test in Headingley as Shardul Thakur was preferred ahead of him.
