Sunrisers Hyderabad made a few changes ahead of their clash against Delhi Capitals on Monday, May 5. While R Chaitanya scored a brilliant century to guide Hyderabad to a 195/4 in their 20 overs, SRH bowlers kept things in check to restrict the Capitals to 158/9.
The teams met at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad for the crucial encounter. Both sides made one change each for the contest.
For the Capitals, T Natarajan came in place of Mukesh Kumar, who impressed in the last game. Meanwhile, SRH brought in Anuj Patil to replace Nitish Reddy.
This article will take a look at why the IPL 2024 emerging player of the season award winner Nitish Reddy misses out on the clash against the Capitals.
Why Is Nitish Kumar Reddy Not Playing Today?
Defying the rumours that NKR has been benched because of his poor run with the bat, SRH were forced to make this change as Nitish Reddy is suffering from a stomach infection, which is why he isn't available for selection against the Capitals.
Talking about his form, then NKR has looked a pale shadow of his earlier version and only amassed 173 runs in nine innings, averaging just 24.71. It has not been a fine season for NKR, but his recent ouster from the playing XI isn't related to his poor form.
Meanwhile, the Capitals got off to the worst possible start as Karun Nair registered a golden duck and DC have put 3/1 on the board after the end of the 1st over.
