Nayini Santosh Kumar Reddy (born 22 October 1938) is an Indian former cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and Hyderabad between 1959 and 1971.[1]
Santosh Reddy studied in The Doon School and later in St John's College, Cambridge.[2] He played cricket for Cambridge from 1959 to 1961 with future England cricketers Mike Brearley, Tony Lewis and Roger Prideaux. He won a Blue at cricket in all three years.
Reddy scored two first class hundreds, both for Cambridge - 103 v Combined Services in 1960 and 113 not out v Somerset in 1961. An occasional left arm bowler, Reddy took 3 wickets in 3 overs to nearly bowl Cambridge to a win against Somerset in the match they lost by one wicket.[3] In his autobiography, Lewis described Reddy as "a little man with a small frame and thick spectacles" who "spoke with an inconsistent lisp that was a delightful affectation not an impediment."[4]
