Indirect speech is defined as a speech that tells you exactly what someone has said to you, but he or she does not use that individual's actual words.

We can take an example,

Direct speech: Tom said, "I'm going to buy a new cycle."

Indirect speech: Tom said (that) he's going to buy a new cycle.

1. The reporting of anything that is said or written down by conveying what was actually meant instead of repeating the exact words. That is why Indirect speech is also known as a reported speech.

2. It is a grammatical method for directly reporting the content of anybody's utterance of anything without quoting it.
