Sunrisers Hyderabad’s young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy suffered a painful injury during the high-octane IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The incident occurred while Reddy attempted a desperate dive to stop a certain boundary in the deep.
In visuals captured during the strategic timeout, Reddy was seen grimacing in pain as medical staff tended to a bleeding hand. The right-hander appeared to have sustained cuts on his palm or fingers while putting in the valiant effort on the field. A spray was applied and his hand wrapped as part of immediate first aid, while he remained seated on the sidelines.
Despite the discomfort, Nitish Kumar Reddy’s commitment to the team’s cause was evident and drew praise from commentators and fans alike. His injury raised some concerns about whether he would be fit to bat later in the match.
The SRH dugout, meanwhile, showed concern as they monitored his condition. There has been no official word yet on the severity of the injury or whether it will impact his participation in the upcoming games.
Such moments highlight the intensity and physical demand of the IPL, where players often put their bodies on the line to make a difference for their teams.
