It is not easy to fill the place of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the Indian cricket team. Both these legendary batsmen have been an important part of Indian Test cricket. However, their performance in the year 2024 has not been as per expectations. Virat Kohli's average in Test was 24.90 and Rohit Sharma's average was 30.36, which is less than his ability.
Due to this performance, questions are being raised whether the Indian team should give a chance to new talent. If this happens, then young batsman Sai Sudarshan looks like a strong option.
Who is Sai Sudarshan?
23 year old left handed batsman Sai Sudarshan is the rising star of Indian cricket. With his hard work and brilliant game, he has made his mark not only in India but also in Australia and England. Recently, Sai has attracted everyone's attention by scoring a brilliant century in the four-day match against Australia A. He scored 103 runs in 200 balls, which included only 9 fours. This innings of his has given proof of his mental and physical strength.
Exploded in Australia, showed strength in England also
Sai Sudarshan's game is not limited to Indian fields only. He also performed brilliantly for the entire team in England this year and played an inning of 105 runs. Apart from this, in first class cricket, he proved his ability by playing an excellent inning of 213 runs in Delhi. Be it Australia, England or India, Sai has the ability to adapt to every type of pitch and environment.
Can Sai Sudarshan be the backup plan of Team India?
The contribution of Virat and Rohit to the Indian team is incomparable. It is difficult to fill his place completely, but looking at the performance of Sai Sudarshan, it can be said that Team India has an excellent backup plan. If ever the need arises, Sai Sudarshan can play an important role for the Indian team.
