Will come back stronger in no time – Sai Sudharsan
The 23-year-old Tamil Nadu batsman was last seen in action on November 23 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Tripura. He scored 9 runs in the match before heading to the BCCI National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, Sudharsan, in a post shared on his official Instagram, said that he hopes to return stronger than ever very soon 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 stated:
“I will be back stronger in no time. Many thanks to the medical team and BCCI for their efforts and support. Thanks to the Titans family for their 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 before failing in the second game by recording scores of 0 and 3.
Sudharsan was expected to be asked to stay in Australia with the Test team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after Rohit Sharma made the decision to skip the first match in Perth and Shubman Gill suffered a thumb injury. However, that did not happen as the Indian team management preferred Devdutt Padikkal over him.
Sai Sudharsan ruled out for Vijay Hazare Trophy
After undergoing the surgery, Sai Sudharsan is likely to be out of action for a few months. He is likely to miss the entire Vijay Hazare Trophy tournament, which will be held 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 for the Indian national cricket team and may also become a full-time member of the team in the near future.
So far he has played 3 ODIs and 1 T20I for India. 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 was also signed by the Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction for INR 8.50 crore along with Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan.
India is currently participating in 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 began the series with a dominant 295-run win in Perth under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah, but faced a disappointing 10-wicket defeat in the second Test match in Adelaide.
With the series currently tied 1-1, the two teams will meet in the third Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane starting December 14.
