What an innings played by Sai Sudarshan in the Ranji Trophy! He played a 213-run inning for Tamil Nadu against Delhi. Sudarshan came to open Tamil Nadu’s innings on day 1 at the Arun Jetly stadium; he faced 274 balls and scored 213 runs with a strike rate of 77.74. Along with twenty five 4s, he hit an over boundary to decorate his innings.
Some Indian cricket fans start to compare Sai Sudarshan with New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra. Rachin Ravindra, one of the most exciting young talents in international cricket, made a century against India during the ongoing Test match in Bengaluru. Sai and Ravindra are both technically sound batsmen with the ability to hit the ball all-round the park. Both have them played in a shorter format of cricket to showcase their aggressive batting skills.
Sai Sudarshan failed to protect his wicket when Tamil Nadu has 400 runs on board and 8 wickets left in hand. On the other hand, Rachin Ravindra scored 134 runs with thirteen 4s’ and four 6s, a strike rate of 85.35.
23 yrs old Sai Sudarshan could become India’s Rachin Ravindra but BCCI is so much invested in Indian Babar Azam, Shubman Gill.
Sudarshan is immensely talent & consistent & should be given importunities in longer formats, he can be a perfect Test Player.pic.twitter.com/yUltgaJYkd
