India’s young batter Sai Sudharsan has faced pressure after his disappointing performance in the second Test against West Indies in Ahmedabad. Despite this, captain Shubman Gill publicly showed his support by helping Sudharsan with throwdowns in practice and backing him as the team’s long-term No.
3 batter. Speaking at the pre-match press conference on October 9 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, Gill stated, “Young players will not get a hundred in every match. You have to give them the chance and then only decide what else he can do to better. Right now we see him as a long term batter who’ll bat for us at no.3.”Sudharsan, who made his Test debut in England, has played four Tests so far, accumulating 147 runs in seven innings with an average just over 21. He has scored only one half-century, which came in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025. Despite being under the spotlight for not justifying his No. 3 spot, Sudharsan had previously impressed with two fifties and a century against Australia A in Lucknow. However, in the Ahmedabad Test, he was dismissed for a single-digit score, lbw by West Indies captain Roston Chase.ALSO READ - 5 Pakistani Cricketers Who Loved Indian Women Despite Ind-Pak RivalryNo.3 Middle MuddleOther options in India’s current squad who can bat at No. 3 include Devdutt Padikkal and Narayan Jagadeesan.
