Sudharsan recorded scores of 87 and 39 during the second Test against the West Indies. However, the left-handed batter hasn’t quite made a mark in Test cricket. The 24-year-old, who made his Test debut in England, has managed only two half-centuries in nine innings at an underwhelming average of 30.33.
Sundar showed some grit with scores of 29 and 31 on a tricky Eden Gardens pitch. He was India’s highest run-getter in the final innings while chasing 124 runs. The off-spinner had almost no role with the ball, sending down just a single over in the first innings and none in the second.
India Have Tried Multiple Options at No. 3, Including Sai Sudharsan
Since Cheteshwar Pujara played his last Test in the 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) Final, the Indian team management has tried different players at the number three batting position. Shubman Gill was shifted from the opening role to number three after Pujara was dropped in mid-2023.
The team management also tried KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal and Karun Nair as makeshift options. Sai Sudharsan batted at No. 3 during the England tour but was later dropped from the playing XI. The young batter returned to the position in the West Indies series but lost his place in the Kolkata Test.

“We got to start afresh (after Kolkata win). This wicket looks a lot better, so we want to put up a big score. No cracks as such on the pitch,” Temba Bavuma said.
