Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa said that India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy should be given more opportunities in Test cricket and nurtured like all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. "Jadeja probably wasn't ready for Test cricket, but MS Dhoni persisted with him," Uthappa added. Notably, Reddy scored 10 runs and remained wicketless in the second Test against South Africa.
