Due to his versatile and impressive performance with SRH, Reddy ended up as the most expensive player in the Andhra Premier League (APL) auction in history. The 20-year-old was picked up by the Godavari Titans for the upcoming season of the APL. 

Despite such achievements at a young age, Reddy has managed to make the headlines after making a rather controversial statement on former skipper of the Indian and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team, MS Dhoni.
