Sai Sudharsan: A Rising Star Faces Setback
Sai Sudharsan, a bright young talent in Indian cricket, recently underwent surgery. While the exact nature of his injury remains undisclosed, the southpaw has been off the field since his last appearance on November 23 in Tamil Nadu’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) opener against Tripura.
Before the injury, Sudharsan was making waves with his performance for India A in their tour of Australia. Batting at an unfamiliar number three position, he managed an impressive century in the first match, scoring 124 runs (21 and 103). Despite this stellar knock, Sudharsan was not retained for the India vs Australia Test series, with Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal being selected instead.
A Heartfelt Message to Supporters
Post-surgery, Sai took to social media to express gratitude:
“Will be back stronger in no time. A big thank you to the medical team and BCCI for their efforts and support. Thank you, Titans family, for your love and support.”
Although unconfirmed, it’s speculated that Sudharsan underwent surgery in England, as he tagged Gujarat Titans assistant coach Naeem Amin, who runs an academy in London.

A Promising Comeback Awaits
