Nitish Reddy Pauses Press Meet For AMMA’s Call

Nitish Kumar Reddy may have impressed on the cricket field, but it was a small off field moment that won over Telugu fans. During a media interaction after India’s win over Afghanistan, the young cricketer paused the session to answer a call from his mother.

What caught everyone’s attention was not the call itself, but the way Nitish answered it. Instead of switching to English in front of the cameras, he warmly greeted his mother with “Amma” and spoke naturally in Telugu throughout the conversation.

The brief conversation instantly went viral on social media. Many Telugu fans praised him for staying connected to his roots despite being on the international stage.

In an era where public figures often prefer English during media appearances, Nitish’s comfort with Telugu struck an emotional chord. Fans felt the moment reflected authenticity rather than image building.

The clip may have lasted only a few seconds, but it left a lasting impression. For many Telugu viewers, Reddy did not just score runs for India. He scored points for proudly carrying his language wherever he goes.
