Top-order batter from India During the current fifth and final Test match against England, Sai Sudharsan talked about his feelings about listening to Hindi songs on the team bus. He disclosed that he had even attempted to sing a few of them.
Sai Sudharsan was questioned about his taste in music when travelling with the team by Indian veteran Cheteshwar Pujara. He said that although he used to listen to Tamil music, he has since switched to Hindi music and has begun to appreciate it.
“I used to listen to a lot of Tamil songs but everybody has to listen to the songs so I try to keep it in Hindi. During that journey, I started liking Hindi songs as well. I try to sing Hindi songs as well. Just having fun,” said Sai Sudharsan on Sony Sports Network.
The left-hander, who made his debut for Surrey in the 2023 season, has played at The Oval in the past during his County Championship outings. That year, he played in two games and amassed 116 runs, including a half-century. In three additional games during the 2024 season, he scored 165 runs from five innings, including a century. In addition to saying that he felt comfortable playing there, he stated that playing there had improved his performance while playing for India.
“It feels great to be back. By far one of the best grounds I have played in England is The Oval. Definitely feels home. When you walk in, you’ve already played here. I have that feeling and energy with the ground. So I feel that helps,” Sai Sudharsan added.
India were bowled out for 224 as the left-handed hitter failed to convert his start despite playing a pivotal knock in the first innings at The Oval, hitting 38 off 108 balls. He has played in five innings since making his debut in the first Test match at Leeds, scoring 129 runs, including a half-century. Following his dismissal after the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy’s opening Test, Sudharsan was called up for the Manchester Test, where he hit 61 off 151 deliveries.
