During a tense moment in the third Test at Lord’s, England’s Harry Brook aimed a pointed sledge at India’s rising all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. With the match hanging in the balance, emotions ran high as Brook decided to stir things up with a verbal jab directed at his former IPL teammate.
Brook, fielding close to the bat, was caught on the stump mic saying, “Who do you think you are? I remember when we were with the Sunrisers, you didn’t say anything there.” The remark was clearly intended to rattle the young Indian cricketer, reminding him of their shared time at Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.
The sledging seemed to highlight a perceived shift in Reddy’s demeanor — from being quiet and reserved in the IPL to now taking on a more vocal and confident role in the Indian Test side. Brook’s words were likely meant to test the youngster’s composure and see if the pressure would impact his game.
Reddy, however, appeared unfazed. He kept his head down and focused on his batting, showing maturity beyond his years. His calm response won praise from fans, who saw the moment as another sign of his growing confidence at the international level.
