Few debuts swing from disappointment to a record-breaking show quite like Revanth Reddy’s T20 bow against Tripura at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium on Saturday.
Having failed to make a mark with the bat earlier, the Andhra debutant delivered a masterclass behind the stumps in the second half of the contest. Revanth was involved in more than half of Tripura’s wickets as he pouched four catches and pulled off two quick stumpings to equal Aditya Tare’s record for most dismissals in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy game.
The 22-year-old made his debut in white-ball cricket after breaking into the Ranji Trophy team two years ago, and it turned out to be a match he will “remember for the rest of his career”. “It is special because it has come in a win, and I am happy that I could play my part even though it was with my glovework,” Revanth said.
“I was disappointed when I failed with the bat in the morning. I must credit our bowlers for the catches I took: they were superb. I wasn’t aware of the record and I came to know about it when I saw it on the big screen. I particularly enjoyed the one-handed catch I took to dismiss Abhijit Sarkar off C.V. Stephen and the two stumpings as well,” he said.
Revanth had struck a purple patch with the bat for Bhimavaram Bulls in the Andhra Premier League. He finished APL as the second highest scorer with 459 runs at a strike rate of 190.46, including one century and two fifties.
“I have been doing well in the APL for the last two seasons. The 2026 season was a blockbuster one for me and I was expecting a call up to the SMAT squad. I also did well in the Ranji Trophy, playing a crucial knock against Karnataka. I hope to continue the good form”.
