NEW DELHI: Promising young India batter Sai Sudharsan, who recently underwent a surgery, on Tuesday thanked to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Gujarat Titans for their support.
Sudharsan's last match was in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where is was the vice-captain for Tamil Nadu team.
Before the surgery, Sudharsan represented Tamil Nadu in their SMAT Group B encounter against Tripura which the side won by 43 runs.
An injury had prevented Sudharsan from participating in the remaining matches. Tamil Nadu ultimately finished fifth in Group B, failing to advance beyond the group stage.
Before his surgery, Sudharsan had impressive outings for India A against Australia A. He batted at the number three position.
The 23-year-old scored a century in the first match of the series. His impressive 103 runs highlighted his potential for future selection in the Indian national team.
Despite Sudharsan's strong performance, Devdutt Padikkal was chosen for the number three spot in the first Test match against Australia in Perth.
India A lost the series 0-2 against Australia A. However, Sudharsan's performance was a bright spot. He scored a total of 127 runs, averaging 31.75.
Sudharsan has represented India in three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and one Twenty20 International (T20I).
IPL franchise GT retained Sudharsan for Rs 8.5 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 auction last month.
