In the last year, before the Sri Lanka series, Sudharsan used to play as the No.3 batter. In his absence, the team management chose Devdutt Padikkal as their new number three. Padikkal welcomed the opportunity with both arms, scoring 131* off 178 deliveries on Day 1 of the ongoing India vs Sri Lanka Test match in Galle.
Padikkal, who is backed by a brilliant domestic cricket career and Indian Premier League seasons, could be the long-term solution for which the team has been looking.
Sai Sudharsan is going to be in trouble: Kris Srikkanth after the century of Devdutt Padikkal
"Now Sai Sudharsan is going to be in trouble. While he has done well at No.3, Padikkal has cemented that spot now. This is where Sai could ill afford to miss a game, citing injury. I won't accept the excuse of too much cricket being played. You have to keep yourself fit. Now Padikkal can't be dropped, and Sai will suffer because of this injury absence. For Sai to come back, it's going to be that much more difficult," the former India opener opined.
Kris Srikkanth highlighted the importance of domestic cricket
"What a comeback by Padikkal. His batting has such elegance. He hasn't let go of his incredible form from domestic cricket to the IPL. His drives and cuts are superb, full of fluency. It also shows that those who shine at the domestic level are doing well for India as well. Now performances in the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy will be taken up seriously. Just doing well in the IPL to play for India won't happen," he added.
