Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the two Indian batsmen who have had the worst batting average in Test cricket this year. Now when the bat thing goes wrong, other things are bound to go wrong too. In such a situation, the big question is that if these two great batsmen are out, then who can take their place?
Among the Indian batsmen with the lowest average in Tests in the year 2024, Virat Kohli's name is at first place and Rohit Sharma's name is at second place. Virat's average (24.90) is not even 25. Whereas Rohit could barely cross the average of 30 (30.36). In such a situation, why should Virat-Rohit not be removed from Team India? But, if he is out, who will replace him? Of course, it is not easy to fill Virat-Rohit's place in the Test team. But, if there is any batsman ready to take the place of these two, then his name is Sai Sudarshan.
Is Sai Sudarshan ready to replace Virat-Rohit?
23-year-old left-handed batsman Sai Sudarshan is all set to replace Virat or Rohit. He has achieved this feat by leaving his mark in red ball cricket from India to Australia. Sai Sudarshan has recently created a stir on Australian soil. He scored a brilliant century in the 4-day match against Australia A. This century innings of Sai Sudarshan is the complete horoscope of his class as a batsman. Sudarshan's innings came to a halt. It was a perfect reflection of the old school of batting, with more runs scored between the wickets than on the boundaries.
Showed his ability by scoring a century in Australia
Sai Sudarshan scored 103 runs in 200 balls in the second innings against Australia A, which included only 9 fours. This young and promising left-handed batsman has scripted this century by revealing his mental strength. After the first innings, India A team was trailing Australia A by 88 runs. Then suddenly 2 wickets fell in the second innings also. But Sai, who came to bat at number 3, did not let the circumstances affect him.
Australia, England, India… wherever there is a field, Sudarshan goes!
It is clear that Sai Sudarshan has answered many questions in his one innings. He has proved his worth physically and mentally. And, this is not just about Australian soil but Sai Sudarshan has played many such innings in England and India also. He made his highest score of 213 runs in first-class cricket in Delhi. Earlier, in August this year, he had proved his talent by playing an inning of 105 runs for Surrey in England also.
Sai Sudarshan…Team India's backup plan!
The contribution of Virat and Rohit in Indian cricket cannot be ignored. Its space also cannot be filled. But, if both of them are out, then there is no doubt that Team India has an excellent option in the form of Sai Sudarshan as a backup plan.
