During the practice on Tuesday, when Shubman Gill passed in front of Sai Sudarshan at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, he asked that he would bat on the net. When the team is lagging behind 1-2 in the series, it is very important to win the next match and before that the captain should come and ask if you would like to bat on the nets? So usually the player will say yes, but Sai did not do so but refused for it.
Shubman Gill was not angry at all, in fact he knew that Sai Sudarshan would not bat on the nets a day before the match. During the IPL this year, he stopped batting on the net a day before the match. His captain was also Shubman Gill in the IPL, so Gill also knows this very well.
According to Cricbuzz report, Sai Sudarshan felt tired while batting for a long time on the ground during IPL 2024. The coaches of Gujarat Titans saw this and advised them to rest a day before the match.
Sai was positive for Sudarshan
In IPL 2025, he changed his practice. He batting on the net for hours, training, sweating for hours for hours, but resting a day before the match. He was also asked to stay in the hotel a day earlier but he refused to do so and he started going to the ground with the team. However, he used to do light jogging and stretching on that day. As a result, he also came to a positive, he became the highest run player in IPL 2025.
Will Sai Sudarshan play in the fourth Test?
Not just practicing just a day before the match, it cannot be assumed that their place has been confirmed in their playing 11. However, he inspected the pitch and practiced shadow on Tuesday. He went on the pitch two things and knocked the shadow. Once there were covers on the pitch and the second time when there was good sunlight. It is believed that they may return to playing 11.
Sai made her debut in the first Test played in Handingley, which was dismissed for zero in the first innings and scored only 30 runs in the second innings. Playing at number three, he flopped and then dropped. Karun Nair batted at number three in his place, he also disappointed.
Sai can return to number three instead of Karun Nair
However, this does not mean that Karun Nair will be out of playing 11 with the arrival of Sai. They can be given another chance but Sai may return to number three. Nair has scored a total of 131 runs in 6 innings played in this series. Not a single half -century innings has come from his bat.
