Nitish Kumar Reddy visited the Tirupati temple to give thanks for his standout show during the Border Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia.
A surprise selection for the Test team, the 21 year old scored his maiden century to finish with 298 runs in five games -- the second most runs for the visitors, while also picking up five wickets.
On his return to India, the all-rounder paid a visit to the Tirupati shrine, where he climbed the stairs on his knees.
