Sai Sudharsan:
* Struggling in Tests: Sudharsan is having a frustrating start to his Test career, averaging only 21.00 with one half-century in seven innings.
* Dismissals: He’s been getting starts but falling in unusual ways,including to balls angling down the leg side. His recent dismissal in Ahmedabad (7 runs) was due to an aspiring pull shot that may have been mistimed.
* Potential & Competition: India clearly rates him highly, giving him the No.3 spot despite a sub-40 first-class average. However, the team environment is competitive (example given of Karun Nair). He needs to prove he can hold the position.
* Belief & Patience: The team has belief in him, and they can absorb a few low scores in a winning series.
* Test Calendar Challenges: The gaps between Test matches make it tough for young players like Sudharsan to find rhythm.
