Coming back stronger soon – Sai Sudharsan
The 23-year-old Tamil Nadu batsman was last seen in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Tripura on November 23. He scored 9 runs in the match before leaving for BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, Sudharsan, in a post on his official Instagram, said he wants to come back stronger than ever and thanked the medical team of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as well as the Gujarat Titans (GT) franchise for their support. He said:
“I will be back stronger in no time. Big thanks to the medical team and BCCI for their efforts and support. Thank you Titans family for your love and support. @gujarat_titans @mightywillow -Legend.”
Notably, Sudharsan was in Australia for the red ball matches before his last appearance in competitive cricket in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
He represented India A in the matches against Australia A and scored 21 and 103 in the first match and scored 0 and 3 in the second.
After Rohit Sharma decided to miss the first match in Perth and Shubman Gill picked up a thumb injury, Sudharsan was expected to be asked to stay in Australia with the Test squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But it did not happen as the Indian team management preferred Devdutt Padikkal over him.
Sai Sudharsan ruled out of Vijay Hazare Trophy
After the surgery, Sai Sudharsan will be out of action for a few months. He is likely to miss the entire Vijay Hazare Trophy from December 21 to January 18.
Sudharsan is one of the most talented young batsmen in the Indian circuit and his team will definitely miss him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Sai Sudharsan has already made his debut in the Indian National Cricket Team and may become a full-time member of the team in the near future.
He has played 3 ODIs and 1 T20I for India so far. In 3 ODIs, he scored 127 runs at an average of 63.50, while he did not get a chance to bat in T20Is.
Sudharsan along with Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia and Shah Rukh Khan were also retained by Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction.
India is currently busy with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Talking about the Indian National Cricket Team, they are currently involved in the 5-match Border-Gavaskar series against the Australian National Cricket Team.
The hosts started the series with a dominant 295-run win in Perth under Jasprit Bumrah but suffered a disappointing 10-wicket loss in the second Test match in Adelaide.
With the series currently tied 1-1, the two teams will clash in the third Test match at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane from December 14.
