Heartwarming scenes were witnessed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, when India’s latest Test centurion Nitish Kumar Reddy‘s father, Mutyala Reddy, bowed to batting legend Sunil Gavaskar and touched his feet.
The moments from Reddy family’s meeting with Gavaskar were captured on video and went viral on social media.

Nitish made the headlines on Saturday by scoring a well-deserved century to bail India out of trouble on the third day of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The Reddy family had made the trip to Australia for the match in Melbourne, and Nitish didn’t disappoint them, coming up with his best innings of the tour so far.
His hundred and a 127-run partnership for the eighth wicket with fellow all-rounder Washington Sundar brought India back in the match as the visitors finished the day at 358 for 9 after being 221 for 7 at one stage.
On Sunday, Australia took the remaining one wicket of the Indian innings quickly to wrap up the visitors for 369 and take a healthy 105-run lead.
Nitish was the last wicket to fall, dismissed by off-spinner Nathan Lyon for 114, which included 11 fours and a six.
The century took Nitish’s tally of runs in his debut Test series to 293 in 6 innings, which is the highest among Indian batters. Australia’s Travis Head leads the list with 409 runs.
