Gautam Gambhir has turned to Sai Sudharsan to be India’s long-time successor to Cheteshwar Pujara. The 23-year-old has been named in the squad for the IND vs ENG Tests. The left-hander has impressed one and all with his displays for Gujarat Titans in the IPL, with a strong technique and classical strokeplay. A record breaker in T20s, Sudharsan also has experience of County Cricket, while has debuted for India in ODIs.
The 23-year-old is leading the Orange Cap leaderboard in IPL 2025, with 638 runs in 13 innings. In 29 FC games, Sudharsan averages 39.93, with 7 centuries in 49 innings.
