Sai Sudharsan Poor Form: The Indian cricket team is going through a change in the Test format at this time. After the retirement of veterans like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravichandran Ashwin, some new players are being given opportunities. Even though it is not easy to fill the place of veterans, but many players are staging their claim for every place. In such a situation, any player who is getting a chance will have to prove himself in a short time. But a player is currently struggling with it and once again he has failed. These young players are Sai Sudarshan, who also failed in the first innings of the first Test against the West Indies.

Sudarshan failed in Ahmedabad Test too

Team India batting came on the very first day of the Indo-West Indies, which started in Ahmedabad from October 2. The Indian team landed for batting after piles up the West Indies for 162 runs, where it was again given a good start by Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. Then after Jaiswal's dismissal, Sai Sudarshan landed at number three. It was a good opportunity for this left -handed batsman to make a big innings in domestic conditions and confirm his place, but he became a victim of spinner by scoring just 7 runs.

Only one half -century in 7 innings

This was Sudarshan's fourth Test match and 7th innings but once again he failed to score a strong score. This is not the first time when this 24 -year -old batsman has lost his hand in this way. Sudarshan made his debut on Team India's England tour in June-July. After Virat Kohli's retirement, Shubman Gill shifted from third to fourth position, due to which this young batsman from Tamil Nadu got a chance to prove himself on number-3. But since then, in 7 innings, he has been able to score only 147 runs at an average of 21, which has only one half -century.

These figures of Sai Sudarshan will worry for Team India, but more troublesome than that is for this batsman himself. It is true that he is completely new in international cricket, especially Tests and also started in England, where experienced batsmen also struggle. But the way he is 'throwing' his wickets after being set, that team management will not be happy for long. It is true that the captain, coaches and selectors have been talking about giving more opportunities to the young players, but there is also a strict truth that there is no shortage of talented options in Indian cricket at this time.

Somewhere the name should not be cut off from the next series!

The problem for Sudarshan is also that there is no hope of getting much opportunities for batting in this Test series. In the 2 Tests of this series, the Indian team will have a chance to bat in 4 innings. But will Team India need to go to bat in the second innings in both matches under domestic conditions? It is also possible in the Ahmedabad Test that Team India batting in a single innings will win the match. In such a situation, every innings is important for Sudarshan and if he misses the next time, then his name can also be cut from the series against South Africa.
