**Hyderabad, May 2, 2025** – A photograph of the father of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) cricketer Nitish Kumar Reddy, sporting a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) jersey during a gym session, has gone viral on social media. The image shows Muthyala Reddy, Nitish’s father, working out while clad in the rival team’s attire.

This has led to a wave of amused comments from netizens, many speculating about a potential future move by the young cricketer to RCB. Nitish Kumar Reddy, a right-handed batsman and all-rounder, made his debut for Team India after a strong showing in IPL 2024. Despite being retained by SRH for a hefty ₹6 crore before the IPL 2025 mega auction, his performance this season has been underwhelming. He has scored only 152 runs in 9 matches at an average of 21.17 and a strike rate of 113.43.

SRH’s overall performance this season has also been lackluster, winning only three out of nine matches. Their playoff hopes are dwindling. Meanwhile, RCB is currently enjoying a successful season, holding the second position in the points table with 14 points from 10 matches.

While Nitish Kumar Reddy’s father’s RCB allegiance is purely a matter of personal preference, the viral photo has fueled online discussions regarding the cricketer’s future and his known admiration for RCB captain Virat Kohli.
