Fri May 02 17:50:00 UTC 2025: ## SRH Star’s Father Fuels Speculation with RCB Jersey Workout Amidst Son’s Poor IPL Form

**Hyderabad, May 2, 2025** – Nitish Kumar Reddy, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder who impressed during the Australia tour last January, is facing intense scrutiny after a disappointing IPL 2025 season. His struggles on the field are now compounded by a viral video of his father, Muttyala Reddy, working out in a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) jersey.

Reddy, retained by SRH for a hefty ₹6 crore before the mega auction, has only managed 152 runs in 9 innings this season, a stark contrast to his 303 runs in the previous IPL. His lackluster performance has left SRH teetering on the brink of elimination from the playoffs. A crucial match against Gujarat Titans on May 2nd is a virtual knockout game for the Hyderabad franchise, currently languishing in 9th position with only 3 wins from 9 matches.

The video of Reddy’s father in RCB attire has ignited social media, adding fuel to the already existing concerns about the young cricketer’s form. While Nitish is struggling to justify his price tag, his father’s apparent support for a rival team has sparked a flurry of comments and speculation. The contrast between the son’s struggling performance and the father’s visible RCB allegiance is a striking narrative in this already dramatic IPL season.
