In the two-match Test series between India and the West Indies, 1983 World Cup winner Kris Srikkanth commended Sai Sudharsan‘s batting, particularly while he was off the back foot. At Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Tamil Nadu batsman got out for 87 in the opening innings of the second Test match. Nonetheless, Srikkanth emphasised to the child the significance of transforming his half-century into tonnes.
When the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy was being played, Sai Sudharsan made his Test debut. He finished with 140 runs at an average of 23.33 in his three Test matches against England during the tour, but he was unable to leave an impression. At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, he was also removed cheaply during the opening Test match against the West Indies. He will be quite confident going into the forthcoming series against South Africa in November, though, after scoring 87 and 39 in the second Test.
The 43 Test and 146 ODI player for India, Srikkanth, feels that Sai Sudharsan hasn’t been able to establish himself in the red-ball lineup.
“We should still wait for a while, in my opinion. Even though he played well, particularly while playing off the back foot, I don’t think he should be guaranteed to win the next two or three matches. He shouldn’t have given up such a simple century, though. “There is a significant difference between an 87 and a 100,” Srikkanth replied on his YouTube channel. “Why even 99?”
After you reach that 100, things take a new turn. The 90s, 50s, and 70s are useless in comparison to a 100. No matter how badly you fail, the number of hundreds is all that anyone will ask for.
He said, “Sai Sudharsan missed out on that.”
“He is an all-three-format player at 100%: Srikkanth
The development of Yashasvi Jaiswal in international cricket impressed Srikkanth. Jaiswal is undoubtedly an all-format player, according to the cricketer-turned-expert, who also praised his ability to play his natural style in any circumstance.
Without exception, Jaiswal is an all-three-format player. His T20 record is outstanding, and he will do admirably in ODIs, but he hasn’t been given enough opportunities. His style is natural, and he doesn’t alter it when playing. According to Srikkanth, “he is even charging medium pacers and smashing them at times” (via the aforementioned source).
